looking at a boat that's been sitting ,neglected, and custom paint / graphics are past faded; boat needs new paint.

Ball park ideas on cost to paint hull and deck solid red in either Imron or Awlgrip?

Thanks

I also would like your feedback on this boat, especially if you're a previous owner and/ or have on the water experience with a 42 Revolution.

Thanks

I received quotes from 3 shops for a complete paint job & the rates were $550-800 per foot. This included them doing all the pre-paint prep work.

What boat specifically.

The 42 revolution (and evolution flat deck models) is the same hull as the first Tiger. The problem with them is that dash and deck. They are not too sought after due to the "dramatic lines". They're heavy beasts.

Give Richard at Richy's custom pait a call, he is doing mine now!! you will be very happy with his work. If you want to see his work check out my post on my 38 Top Gun

Any Pics?

On Yachtworld, saw it today. Jacksonville, Fl. area I think. I know nothing about it, have a call in to the dealer.

thisistank, I read here some of what you said: heavy; also hard on drives, one comment about bulkhead issues at one time.

Pics there are apparently old, and limited in scope.

Thank you all

Heavy equals hard on bravos...not SSM's

I have no first hand knowledge of bulk head issues with them. I do know this. They pop up from time to time and unless you're getting the stripped down and beat up one for basically free it may be worth it to look into one of the ones that are actually seaworthy. The price point on them are low. In other words, you're going to be waaaaaay more into a total restore on one than it'll be actually worth. Just my .02

If this is the one you are talking about and shows as well as it does in the pics than that's not a bad price. Keep in mind that these models will only go down in value as they are not sought after. Also keep in mind that you will be blowin drives as these are HEAVY boats and bravos do not like that. I don't care what anyone says " it's all about how you drive it" if that's the case buy a sailboat. These boats are to be driven. Good luck.

Skater, I'm told the pics are from 2-3 years ago, in it's 'better' days. It has been sitting since, paint faded and interior wasted. Engine need $5500-6000 of work.

Owner isn't likely to appreciate any offer I'd make him on this project.
