we pulled the boat last week for a bottom job and to get some minor fiberglass work done to cracks on the sides where the exhaust comes out of the hull.
While the boat was out I decided to get the rub rail down waxed as well.
Shortly after pulling the boat I noticed that I didn’t really need a bottom job but with the fiberglass work, I might as well have it done.
I budgeted $3k for the repairs which did not include the buffing/waxing.
Last Friday I picked it up and it looked amazing!
The yard found a few things extra and fixed them but I didn’t think of the costs until I got the bill!
Nothing like being $2200 over budget!
The port side cutlass bearing had to be replaced - $400
Since there was fiberglass work done, they had to redo the boot stripes - $400
There was some extra fiberglass work that had to be done -$600
They replaced all of my zincs to include the diver dream, trim tabs and shaft zincs - $400
Ugh, the cost of owning a boat...
