Hey,
So I need a new Interior for my '04 Utopia 205. I just got the first of a couple request quotes back and it blew my mind.... They quoted $10K just for labour, claiming 120 hours at a shop rate of $87/hr.
With a couple more quotes to come in.. I am bracing myself!
I had it in my head (and so maybe I am crazy) to expect between $1500 and $3000. I have no experience with having marine/boat interiors done, but this is after speaking to a couple aquantances and from what I have seen on-line.
Am I way off base in my expectations?
I am getting the 3 bow cushions and 2 backrests done, the captains and passengers chairs (my passenger is the bench seat), the 2 rear seat cushions and the sun deck. I had planned to pull all the pieces myself and take them in to the shop (leaving the boat in the water or in storage)
I would greatly appreciate any feedback/advice.
FYI - I have looked for pre-cut/sewn kits and there are none out there for the Utopia.
Cheers,
MK
