Note to self: Don't get work done on the boat in Chesapeake Bay. Re $5k for cushions, I just had all the cushions done on my 38. Two v berth cushions plus the filler, two settee cushions plus four seat backs and four arm cushions, quarter berth cushion, and assorted bolster cushions and pillows for lounging, reading, and propping up in the v berth. Bought the new foam, batting, upholstery fabric, etc myself at a store in New Bern that specialized in upholstery stuff. It is all synthetic material to resist mildew, and came with some sort of scotch guard coating. Total about $1100.
Took it all to a local upholstery shop (one that doesn't specialize in boats. Cost to have cushions done was a bit over $1400. I got a quote last year on painting the hull only. $100 a foot, $150 a foot using Algrip. Haul and remove the rig so the boat can be put in the paint shed about $600 additional. Joe, sounds like you might need to plan a vacation in North Carolina.
