1989 20' fisherman cc

[20'fisherman]

I was wondering if anyone had any information on painting inside and out of a 20' wellcraft fisherman (Price to have it done right). It has gotten to the point where i love the boat but hait to be seen in it. It rides nicer than any boat i have ever been in for that size and i put a 08 yamaha F150 4stroke.

Price to have done right will include hours of sanding and preparation before the spray gun ever comes out...one thing will save you some $$ is remove all hardware, etc from the hull yourself and tape what isn't practical to remove...lotta time in that...paint, primer, etc probably < $500...TIME spent by qualified, do it right kinda people will run the job you're talking about is gonna be high unless you just get real lucky and where you are...I would think a couple a grand or so, plus paint, etc would get it done...oh and how much fiberglass REPAIR will your hull require?...does it have bottom paint??...can YOU remove the motor??...all these thoughts are based on your "done right" question...

Take a look in the Gallery at Pipe Dreams album...I totally agree w/your approach, but understand this stuff don't happen for cheap...

Thanks for the info. I am located in Panama city Florida. There is no bottom paint' i have already removed pin stripes and decals. There is not much fiber glass work that needs to be done other than under the rub rail where it has a ton of screw holes. Also there is one hatch that needs to be replaid in front and two small hatches in the back on left and right side. I was also thinging about moving the live well up off the floor and and try to add it to a leaning post. Any ideas where to buy somthing pre-fab like that. It will be no problem removing motor and controls have a buddy with a boat repair shop that could store it for me.

I would think SEVERAL(if not MANY) shops in PC can do an excellent job for you...my suggestion would be remove motor, hardware, etc, get a start on taping and trailer it around to those shops for price estimates...look at their past jobs every chance you get and references from past customers are always helpful...

Off the subject, but I sure loves me some Cape San Blas down there...that whole area from PC to Carrabelle is SWEET place to be...

try professional fiberglass & marine, they are located up 231 close to where cobia & century were located. i believe the guy's name is paul. i know of 2 wellcrafts they have painted and they came out looking great, he can also address any fiberglass work you need done also. as reel said, it ain't gonna be cheap. if it is only the inside, it is not a bad DIY project. have you tried to restore the gel coat? the down side to paint is once you do it, you will probably have to re-do it later.

glad to have another pc wellcraft in the crew.

hey reel, check out the new sports ill swimsuit issue, some of it shot in applachicola.
