  1. @Cmaltby $150 and painted is insanely cheap. I looked around and I certainly could not find anyone willing to do work for that price.
  2. Hi @Drop Bear @Panther Sorry about the slow reply. The boat got picked up late Friday. I am really happy with it now.... I was not 100% happy initially. It was solid but the welds were rough/chunky. I wish I had taken a 'before' photo. What you see is after it is all cleaned up. I took to it with a flap disc and made it all look neat, ensured there were no sharp edges and made all the surface look uniform. Now it looks good. For $250 I am happy but it would have been nice to be perfect off the bat. I should add, I did push the guy to finish it on a Friday afternoon so maybe it got rushed.
  3. @Panther My boat wasn't ready for pickup yesterday.Hopefully it will be ready today. Don't you love it when people take on jobs with no real intention of completing the work in the time-frame indicated! Hopefully he is just being extra meticulous in doing the work!
  4. Hi @Panther I am picking up my boat today from a guy at Eagle Farm who is doing mine for $250 I will post the results once I pick it up. When looking with who to go with, I was quoted from $150 through to $450. I decided to run with the quote that was in the middle of the road. A couple things worth mentioning. You wont get an accurate quote unless you take your boat to the welder as there is so much variation between hull design and they will just be shooting in the dark. Ensure the person doing it uses at least 4mm thick aluminium. Lastly make sure the welder has experience doing the bow mount weld ups, a few people I talked to were more than happy to 'give it a crack' which isnt what you want for your pride and joy and the job is more complex than it first appears.
