Thx for providing cost.. What is the going rate ?

I have been putting this project off but need to do it. It is one job I would not ever consider doing myself. I'll take the savings from all the other projects and blow it here..

What did you barrier coat with ?

Thx. Looks great !

I used interprotect 2000E which is ok just not very good with the bottom paint i used. I used interlux offshore vc it is a harder bottom paint and something that you can buff, does not have any antifouling properties. I will be trailering the boat so i thought this would have been a good pick. It's turning out to be a nightmare. Interprotect 2000E is suppose to be a non sanding primer, unfortunately it is not for the type of bottom paint i used. The manufacterer says that i got spider cracking because i was suppose to use an 80 grit on the 2000E after letting it cure for 24 hours. I did let it cure for 24 hours but i used 220 just to scuff it up. Doesn't seem to make sense to buid up a barrier coat and then sand it off.
