Bottom Paint

[SPOONFEEDER]

I had my 30ft sportcraft painted by Offshore Performance 4 yrs ago, it was $10 per foot labor and $100 for materials. Total was $400.

Thanks for the reply. Sounds very reasonable to me. Where are they located ?

[SPOONFEEDER]

they are located across the road from Wild Wings on Rt2 west of Port Clinton

what spoonfeeder is quoting is just a paint job. No prep. sounds like your boat may need to be completely stripped, prepped and painted. if you are keeping in the water all season I would suggest barrier coat and then bottom paint. I re-did my boat last year. 278 Baha. Paid about $500 for someone to media blast the bottom a prep. I had about $500 in paint and barrier coat. Put on 3 coats of barrier coat and 2 coats of bottom paint myself. very time consuming process. to have it all done by a reputable place runs about $100 a foot.

Offshore did mine three years ago (30'). Completely stripped and applied VZ17. I had a recoat done by them this year for $700. They said it doesn't last any longer than three years but I've talked to others that say when properly applied it will last longer. Meaning applying three coats instead of one.

Thanks for the info. Looks like Offshore is the place to call.
