so I have this new to me 20SF that is pretty beat up. Curious as to what I can spend to get the inside of the boat prepped and re-painted. Just curious. Its something i have been thinking about, but probably a project for next year. TIA.

The rougher it is the more it cost's.

Awl grip is not cheap as you probably know. It's been some time ago that I re-painted my entire boat inside and out. I've forgotton exactly how much it cost me.I did the work myself. Are you thinking of paying someone to do the work or do it yourself?

i would do the work myself, but have never shot paint. Im rather handy, but experience is everything with paint (IMHO). Inside is a must do at some point - hull sides are ok - bottom needs bottom paint soda blasted, gelcoat work and re-paint, but im going to keep her on a trailer, so not sure what I will use there.

I'm trying to remember exactly how much the paint costs. I'm guessing that you could do it yourself for around 350-400 dollars plus eons of your time. Awlgrip is best sprayed in 3-4 coats. The first is a tack coat and then you can build it up from there.
