So it looks like it's time to strip and repaint the bottom paint on our 440. Luckily it doesn't look like there are any blisters at this point but won't know for sure until it's blasted. Got a quote from my yard but I think they are really expensive but thought I'd get some opinions-
1- Block boat outside for bottom blast, move boat and block inside for
new barrier and paint, prep for paint- $522.50 (seems reasonable)
2- Soda blast bottom - does not include any repairs of voids or imperfections that may
need to be fixed- $2600 (seems excessive- first place I called I was quoted $1000)
3- Barrier coat- $462 per coat labor, $275 x 2.5 of the 2 gal kit - Seahawk tuff stuff (going with 2000e instead but tuff stuff 2 gallon kit is only $200 or less)
4- Hydrocoat- again $462 per coat labor, $310 a gallon ( standard not eco- I can buy it for $180 a gallon or less all day long or eco for under $300)
5- They also had $100 for supplies and a gallon of solvent wash- seems reasonable
Thoughts? Think I may just have them pull it, Have my guy blast it and prep/paint it myself. $1848 for 4 coats of paint? I'd like another coat of each and can't see spending that much in labor for 4 coats.
