Replacing Deck

[erikbythesea]

Thanks all for the input. Im leaning more and more toward going to a newer and bigger boat. The fiberglass guy quoted me a price of 5500 to recore the deck. That does not include derigging and rerigging the center console, which I would have to do myself or would be an added expense. I agree that a second opinion would be a good idea and would prefer to see what is under the deck and address any issues, but finding a reliable fiberglass guy or even someone to return my calls has been virtually impossible.

It seems everyone wants to charge big bucks to do minimal, shoddy work now days. Granted, fiberglass prices for the raw materials have gone up, but $5500 is mostly labor costs.
