WOW what an old thread! Nothin like reviving a 3yr old thread.



So what kinda power does that Sunseeker have? I didnt think the 52' came with triples? Yanmar? Volvo? Cummins?



That is some great work and that Sunseeker is one beatuiful boat. I have ridden on a couple, and you better belive for the money vs. the length of boat you get, it better be nice.

I know the Sunseeker 48 could be optioned with tripple diesels, We had an 82ft Italcraft, well grandparents did, not me lol. Don't recall thE size of the diesels but it was damn quick for it's size, topped somewhere around 40 knots which is hauling for an 82 footer. Got some pics somewhere.
 
Looks great! I can definately appreciate the work involved when detailing boats! Makes me dread the start of spring sometimes.....haha

All in all it is a lot of work, but IMO when you put it in perspective it is no different than doing other jobs. As I see it, instead of finding 3 $200 vehcile details to do in a day, I must only find one customer with a boat to fill that spot for $600 in the same days work. I find that I can usually fit 2 full details in one day because of travel times to locations and being able to detail boats keeps me more central to one location, which I love. It's my favorite time of year!
 
If you don't mind me asking, how long does it take you and how do you base you pricing??



I've got a 31' coming up and another smaller like 15-18' or something and I've never done a boat yet.....



Thanks, Josh
 
By myself a 31-34 foot would take the entire day. It was surprising to me when I first got into it, how long it actually takes to detail a boat. Depending on the condition I charge between $21-24 per foot plus a flat rate of $75-100 for cabin work.
