Bottom Blueprinting
 

Has anyone done this and what kind of costs are involved. Who is best to do the work. Just wondering what it would take to have it done to a 30ft. Any perfromance gains handling and speed has anyone seen from this type of work. I think it woild be ideal to have the tweeked just right and run low power. I live in the northeast

Expect to pay between 3000-6000 to have this done. Depending how bad it is.

My boat with 4 ft level is not perectly flat. there is 2 curves in, about 1/16 inch in the 4 ft secton 1 ft up from the vee. One spot is a little worse, looks like some kind of touch up.
Anyone in pa Nj do this kind of work or is this minor. Iwill run it for now but in the future i may really try to dial in my boat. Both sides seem to be the same. Manufactures should fine tune there bottoms out of the mold, it would be pretty simple at that point.

We do that kind of work. I am located in NE PA.. The price depends on the amount of work involved. Price would really depend on how much bottom work is required on yours. ;)

I am doing a blue print on a boat currently in our shop. If you want to look into it further with me, feel free to give me a call. Anyplace in Jersey is a pretty easy drive to us.. :)

If you are going to blueprint the bottom, I would recommend you have the last 8 feet of the bottom completed. To really capatilize on the "new bottom" you also want the work on the ideal X....just money :eek:

it was worth every penny and I would do it again in a heart beat.

So according to your post you only paid $700.00. I guess I"ll be calling these guys tomorrow cause everywhere else I've talked to they quote over the phone 3000-6000.00 depending on the amount of work.

My boat is quite a bit smaller than yours but yes I paid just over $700 for the job. We brought in 2 boats for him to do so I think he may have given me a little price break. Last I talked to him he charges $50 an hour plus material, which I thought was quite reasonable. Everytime I've been in there he was working on skaters, outerlimits and cigarettes if that tells you anything. Chris is top notch.

Edit: I know a lot of other guys do the entire hull while Chris only does the running surface which may make quite a price difference.

Well I have me and a buddy that both wanna get this done, so I'll give him a call his prices seem very reasonable and he's close to me. Even if it's double what yours cost it's still half of what my minimum quote is and I like your #'s you got from doing it.
