According to members on CruisersForum.com, a forum member said a painting job for the hull can be around $150 per foot or around $500 per foot for the deck. According to the forums, a 30-foot boat, for instance, could cost $1,050 and can take up to four weeks to complete.
This forum thread on TheHullTruth.com said the costs of a paint job is going to be around $125 a linear foot for the hull and about $150 per foot for the decks.
Overall, it is safe to budget at least $85 to $150 per foot for the hull and around $135 to $185 per foot for the deck. The costs will depend on the portion of the boat being painted, the contractor you’re using, the type of boat, the length of the boat and where you live.
