Cobalt 263 bottom job

coji1469 · Post by **coji1469** » Mon Sep 24, 2018 4:17 pm

Any ideas on how much a bottom job should run on a Cobalt 263 in the North Texas area? Looking for an average cost for budgeting purposes.

What's a bottom job? A7 can fly out and give you a hand. Fair warning the engines coming out first

Replacing the bottom paint. I don't think the engine comes out for that.

You would be surprised. Between A7 and Slideracer anything is possible. Lol

Have never priced it out, Jim. Let us know what they quote you.

I have located a gentlemen in Fort Worth who is doing it for $1500. Best price I have found and that is with 3 coats plus giving me the extra leftover paint. Operation restore is about to begin. My new trailer arrives tomorrow and the process will start. I will post before and after pictures towards the end of February when it is complete.

Thanks for the update. Interesting to see how the process goes

Jim
I remember your boat showed bottom paint on it (with the pics you posted back in September). I’m guessing this played a factor in the price you were quoted?

Looking forward to your documenting the process.
...and thanks again for the follow up.

Interesting. I guess I never knew how much it would cost.

This was the first image that came to my mind when someone said they needed a bottom job.

Sorry John and A7. Sometimes I can't help myself...

It did but it has deteriorated badly. The entire project will be completed near the end of February which is perfect. That's when we can really start boating again here in North Texas.
