Looks fantastic! I do a few boats every year. How do you charge for boats, by the hour or by the foot?
Thanks..... i usually charge by the foot for most boat jobs..... These high performance boats Though i usually just give them a flat price because they are more involved and not just the standard compound and wax job....
