Interesting info on haulout costs. Was the hired work done on a time and matetial basis? What was the hourly charge for painting prep/sanding and spraying? I have an opportunity to sail through Japan in 2025. Would Japan be a good place to have the full freeboard of a similar sized boat prepped and spray painted?
Thanks for watching and good question. I used three different guys for different jobs and they gave me quote which was based on time and materials. I don’t know but other countries but I am told by incoming cruisers that they work get done is high standard and the labor is trustworthy . Come to Japan ;)
Money, money, money. Girls need love and care.
