Pricing Boats and RVs

**TrueColor** · 09-16-2017, 04:59 PM

So, there I was getting a haircut, talking about detailing with another patron.

he asked, "You do boats?"

I replied, "I don't"

"You should, you can get $20 a foot"

Not trying to make this a huge thread, but Is there a "rate-per-foot" on boats and RVs?

that is about right for a wash and 1 step on an RV but i don't do boats so i am not sure on that.

I don't go by the foot because its either win or lose.Alot of boats need a 2 step.Compound polish and seal.I usually give a flat rate perday.

Depending on the size of the RV that could really stretch the $20/ft. Do you add to it, if the RV is taller?

I could see that working. I need to do a bit more research on process of doing boats. I'm guessing, everything Marine-oriented is very tough, including the hull coating.
