Just One More Coat
This is a new customer I did his black Chevy lifted diesel pusher truck last week, and today I got this one for the full monty. Hardest part of this boat is getting in and out of it.
PB P-w-C to start, then followed with EX Twice. Cleaned the inside out and conditioned. Chearged hiem $300.00 which si under what the local guys here would have charged.
I now get his 3 harleys and a 32 Ford Copue roadster. That why I under bid the job for the volume.

HAve to say that I don't think that I'm going to do many more boats
 
About 7 hours as I remember. I really got this yesterday and worked for about 4 hours then finished up this morning
 
Beemerboy, what was your process on the boat?

I bet ya needed some serious endurance on that monster, jeez! :D

Did you tackle that job all by yourself?

;)
 
Hey beemer i havn't wrote in a while but i have been reading and yours just caught my eye.Good move on your part to bring in more business and for 300 bucks for 7 hours is not a bad day maybe about 10 bucks on materials.The biggest boat i ever did was a 45ft. Grandbanks in and out full of barnicals on the bottom the whole job took me 3 days 2 days just the out side and painted the bottom, bottom took 4 gallons at 165 bucks a gallon.I charged the guy 1500 bucks but for 3 days work i made a grand when the following season came i did his boat and 2 of his friends took me 10 days to make 3 grand there is money in boats and they do pay well, tough work though.From what i see of your pics your custormer must have been happy good job.
 
I was wondering, how do you get underneath the boats? There are some boat trailers in my neighborhood that have the support boards about as long as the boat. There are many boats in my neighborhood. I would love to so some but concerned about not being able to get thevery bottom. b/c of the trailer.
 
Thanks all the pic really does not show the quality of the job.

The process was the same that I do on all cars. Started with washing the outside down. Then into the inside with a busket and a ton of cleaning supplies. Washed out all the bays and cleaned and condtioned the inside.
I then went after the outside and finished up with the final kind of stuff.
The trailer is made by DHM a local engineering company, the paint job was really nice and the shine looked great.
As for getting under the boat I was only able to get certain parts of it, I told the customer that I was limited to what I could do there, and he understood. I also gave thought to the fact that this guy fishes in the ocean so the salt water is going to eat the wax off pretty fast. He was most interested in getting the inside looking good and the top end of the boat cleaned.

Your right there is good money in boats but I'm really not set up for it.
