Paint and such?

Exactly what condition is the boat in?  Correctly re-gelling a boat can be very expensive.  Painting and re-gelling even more.   You know that correct?

You are facing a very expensive job if it is a total redo. You might look at a wrap. I was facing the same issue several months ago. I ended up going with the wrap and could not be happier. Send me your email and I will send you the before and after pics. It saved me a ton of money.

Most 1998 fiberglass boats would not need a complete gelcoat redo.  Unless your boat is severely oxidized, scratched, chipped, or blistered the gelcoat can usually be brought back with some work.  Post a picture of the boat up close so the guys on this site can see what it looks like.  I bet you will get some good advice that will save you a ton of money.  

If it makes any difference in you decisions, Fishfordollars boat wrap looks  FANTANSTIC!!!!!

Thanks, but it don't look too swift right now. It's missing the main item(Motor).

Jack can answer that.  When he told me I was shocked.  Waaaay cheaper than doing a quality paint and regel job.

Price depends on how detailed you want to get with the colors, images, and thickness; Jack saved a tremendous amount because he was able to do the prep work himself.

$1,300.00 for the entire boat. Includes the inside(Carpet to the top, top cap, and the outside(Sides) including the splashwell. If I ever get the motor finished I'll carry it back to the shop and complete the inside of the wrap.

I do intend to pay him extra for the inside. Probably end up total cost of 1,500.00 or so. Still a bargain.
