To do it right costs $4k in materials and labor. Lets call it it $500 for material, leaving $3500 for labor. At $80/hr, that works out to a weeks work (44 hours) for a professional. I'd also be skeptical of the seams on that hull, and I would go ahead and tape those from the outside since it needs a bottom job anyway. Then you are still stuck with outdated boards.

Posts: 118 fl | we have a local hard charger who accidentally .... ripped a few feet off the bow of his mystere 6.0 during a pitchpole in shallow waters. He repaired it - with the help and guidance of Catman - looks perfect - sails fast - weight ? unknown but i would think he gained a few lbs at least... ![[Linked Image]](http://asnstudios.com/images/55.jpg)
