I just dropped off my boat at the Mcneill Marine Fiberglass plus 15801 F M 2769 Austin, TX 78729, and the bill is $650 with taxes. Oh well... I checked out their work and they seem to do a pretty good job. I will get the boat next Thursday (possibly ).

That sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Don't worry about it, it happens to everyone and just go slow next time.

I had a similar problem but not as much damange but I had docked at an unprotected concrete dock 3 times in 2 days and the 4th time was not so pretty.
 
I'm curious. Does anyone know the per hour labor rate these gelcoat guys are charging?

Yikes! But if that's a dealer like MM, the guy doing the work is probably about $35 an hour? Might be worth talking to the guy to see if he takes side jobs.

MM charges 20-40% over cost of thier sub contractors.
If they have thier own in-house guy then they will get thier posted labor rate plus charging for every single mixing stick and piece of sandpaper they use and then some.

Posted labor rate around here is about $125 per hour.
 
The guys who are doing my job said their labour rate is $75 an Hr, they gave me a $50 off the total they said it will cost. The job that I am getting done requires 8hrs of labour. so $650 sounds reasonable for the damage. Next time I just have to keep my eye open for the big boats :smt001
 
Scratches fixed!

Mc Neil marine fixed the scratches, I got the boat back this morning, but the skys over central texas are turning grey again. I got reports that they are getting ready to close the lakes again. We are going to have record high lake levels with this hurricane, they estimate the lake to rise to 708ft, this time lake closures might be for very very long time! GRRRRRRRRRR

Anyway here are the after pics...

Ya, Dean needs to find somewhere else to go. We do not need any more rain. Erin was inconsiderate enough for stopping by and dumping what she did.

Glad you got it back though. I looks good from the pictures.
