    Help pricing a boat

    As of a few days ago I have had people asking me about boat jobs. My first boat job is a current client of mine and he asked me to come up with a price to buff the top portion (above the rub line) on his boat. The picture of it is just below. I am located in the Northeastern Atlantic, and I`m trying to come up with a competitive rate. He promised if his boat comes out well, he has a list of friends who will get jealous and hire me for their boats.

    What would be a competitive price to buff above the rub line on this boat? I would compound, polish & glaze, and top with carnauba.

    Here is the boat:

    It's never too late to learn a little.

    Re: Help pricing a boat

    Most people charge by the foot with boats. I've seen rates ranging from $20-35 a foot. That usually only involves a one step polish and then sealant though. I would see if you can do a test spot first, so you know how much time/product it will take to complete it. Text the 50/50 photo to your client and then he has something to show his buddies.
