Hull painting in Beaufort NC

Do not know who would be good to do that for you there but would like to suggest that you choose to change color of Hull now to awlgrip ice blue or something instead of Snow White. Looking forward to seeing the results of that project.

Call Jarrett Bay they can get it done

I have nothing bad to say about JB. However we pulled a job when the boat sat. "Time is of the essence". Nail down a completed by date.

For what it's worth, the talent is more important than the yard here when it comes to paint. Great yards sometimes have very mediocre painting talent. And that can change by season (or pandemic). Visit, check out the talent, and learn their pricing and timeline during the visit. You'll know when you feel right about the upcoming gig, but it's far too much money to simply go by someone's past good experiences at a yard that might have occurred a year or more ago under very different circumstances.

I’d be nervous about telling the, you need very little fairing. You need as much as you need and you do t want to provide an excuse for the job to less than perfect. I doubt you save much with that claim anyway.

Totally agree. Don't tell them what you think it needs and doesn't. Let them tell you. Then with all the info you can make an informed decision about if they sound like they know their job or are trying to soak you. If you tell them no fairing it's a built in excuse for a poorly done job.

Just the hull, $300-400 a foot. In NC I'd guess closer to $15,000 rather than $20,000.

This is also the time to consider the type, not brand, of paint to use. Linear polyurethanes like original Awlgrip are the hardest and have the most gloss. Acrylic polyurethanes like Awlcraft 2000, or Imron are a little softer but easier to repair. When sprayed correctly it's hard to tell one from the other but the technology is different and there are benefits and drawbacks to both. With the investment you're making, make sure you get the product that works best for your purposes.

When I had it done the base price was around $65k though it ended up well past that. The base price didn't include any repairs, boot stripe and painting of all interior fish boxes and compartments. If there are any stress cracks you will want them addressed. Also I'm sure their work load will dictate pricing to. You can send whoever you are considering to the job pictures and they will quote it. The more hardware that can come off the better the job will turn out.

On my post 50 they are currently painting the bridge sole, cockpit sole, all the coming boards up the the fuel fills including removing my hatches and stuff. 10k. This is in wanchese nc.

$10k - 15k was the the cost to do just the hull

For me it’s great. Capt j can probably chime in about what he thinks about the ride with that weight but I’m coming out of a small boat so the ride to me is like going from a huffy to a Cadillac.

Are you at Spencers?
