Overall the numbers look good to me. You may be a little high on the carpet and windshied canvas and hatch cover. I'm not sure about the Lectra-San the rest looks about right. I don't know where you are going to get the work done. Because what part of the country and who you have do the work can make a big differene. Buzz

Numbers are in the ball park except for Bimini & Enclosure. $3500 would be a good deal. Rick Ticket 85 SF Merc 454 MPI's Falmouth, MA

BOAT= BREAK OUT ANOTHER TENTHOUSAND. You will find that the word marine triples the normal price. Your breakdown is on the money. The isinglass work go with quality and not the cheapest price or you may be having your whole enclosure redone. Captain Larry Wren 305-360-4900

Wow, my eyes light up when I see these prices. If I paid market price I wouldn't have a boat, shoot I don't think I would have a dingy. I guess you do save a bit doing all the work. Just a thought, I would NEVER glue down a carpet. Cut it to size and finish the edges. This way when you do major maintenance it doesn't get wrecked. It stays down just fine. Blinds are in these days, if you want curtains you can probably find some from a boat. I just got done scraping off the original gold (faded to red) stripes, what a PITA. One inch at a time. It must have taken days all together. If someone is willing to do this for a job they aren't getting paid enough.
