I had my 420AC hauled out on Monday to have a bottom job done on it as well as some cosmetic fiberglass repairs around the exhaust outlet.
Yesterday I received a call from the boat yard telling me that there were a bunch of blisters on the hull. I knew from the prebuy last year around this time that there were blisters but figured I would get to them a little at a time.
The yard guy made the recommendation that I focus on them now rather than have the other fiberglass areas repaired since the blisters can only get worse.
I told him that I had an absolute budget of $3500 for repairs to include the bottom job which was already quoted at $2100 including the haul out and 5 days in the yard.
At first I got some push back on the cost of the repairs but we found common ground when he figured out that I'm just an ordinary guy and that I played an indirect part in taking care of his dad in the hospital.
Today he called me with some good news/ bad news about it. The bad news is that I wound up with a total of 90 blisters of all sizes that they are going to repair. The good news is he said he will stick to his original quote of $3500!
In my eyes this is an amazing deal.
What say you?
