Coming up with the estimate and how I would come up with that estimate for doing a boat restoration
0:07
time is something that is very very difficult to Estimate on how long it's going to take something like if you've got to go to work
0:16
Monday through friday eight to five and then you're trying to do this restoration project from
0:22
5 30 to nine o'clock at night every night and then saturdays and sundays that can
0:28
Definitely be more difficult to figure out how long it's going to take and then you know
0:34
What all you're going to want to do going back to? What I said in the beginning with the five different things being engine transom stringers deck and the fuel tank
0:45
If all five of those are good Then like I said, you can go and take a list and write down everything that you need
0:54
Does it need a new t-top canvas? Does it need to be wet sanded compounded stuff like that
1:02
Does it need new electronics? Does it need a stereo? Does it need rewired? Do all the pumps
1:08
Need to be replaced. Does it need a battery? What exactly does it need? Do you need a new dash panel
1:13
Do you need new switches for all your electronics? You're going to have to go through the boat
1:18
With a piece of paper and a pen and make an actual list of everything that the boat needs
1:24
And then that way you can go home And start researching that stuff. Look on amazon. Look on ebay. Look on
1:31
everything To try and find out all those things that you need and put a price on it
1:36
And then you can get yourself a total of what your estimate is going to be
1:40
And how much money you're going to sink in parts on the boat but again
1:46
Without the dedicated time to do it. It's going to be how big of a project are you willing to take on
1:52
Obviously if you don't have the time you don't want to do a transom You don't want to do a repower because that's too much money if you have to replace the engine
1:59
If you got to do the fuel tank again, that's a big price so
2:03
staying away from those or just Estimating that now how to get an estimate on transom how to get an estimate on a fuel tank that kind of thing
2:12
on the fuel tank you're going to need to Look at the fuel tank and on the top of the tank
2:17
There's usually a tag some of them depending on how the label was made
2:20
Be careful when you wipe them off because you can wipe off the actual print or the ink that was put on there to show
2:27
What the capacity is now once you get the capacity of the tank sometimes you have to take a light or a mirror and put the mirror down in there and use the light to kind of like
2:36
try and see what that is and how what the Total capacity of the tank is but generally it used to be like 10 10 dollars a gallon
2:46
So for a hundred gallon tank, it was going to cost a thousand bucks
2:50
depending on the access to the tank is going to determine the labor and cost of materials to
2:57
Actually replace that tank you're going to need the fill hose potentially a fuel sender
3:01
Some of them come with senders some of them do not depends on who makes it a lot of times
3:05
it has to be a welder that makes it like you need to get a custom-made tank unless you've got a production line boat that
3:13
You can get a production type tank in that's basically going to be the way to figure out how much it's going to cost to redo
3:18
That specific boat now if you enjoyed this clip, you can watch the full episode over here or you can watch another one over here
