Hey guys. Couldn't help but want to post a couple of pictures of a job I did today. Customer paid to have the boat cleaned inside and out, so with nothing else to do I spent most of the day making it look good. I don't have any before, or many "during" pictures as I just ran home on a break to grab my camera to take a few shots of her finished. Started with an exterior wash using Megs Boat wash on the boat and trailer. Washing and drying one section at a time until the entire boat was either hand or brush scrubbed. Cleaned the rims and tires with a stiff brush and then started with a nice thorough one stage polish. Got the camera before i was done polishing so i could do a before and after. Fibreglass gelcoat is a little different to work with than the clearcoat of a car, but the results are still fairly nice. Here are some pics of her finished sittin pretty. Sorry that the lighting is so terrible in there, i need to do most real detail work with portable lighting. Hope you guys like it. Customer picks up tommorow. :thumb:
Hey very very nice job. I have been contacted about doing a number of boats but have kind of ducked them as I didn't know how to charge for them. How do you determine price?
JL you charge by the foot after a certain amount of feet. My rule of thumb is anything over 15 feet is charged by the foot. 89s1 great job on the boat it looks awesome.
I have read take the number of feet of the boat, divide by two and multiply that by your normal hourly rate
