I replaced my cabin sole on my 36 with European grade teak and holly plywood
last winter. Did work myself. Used old for patterns, did work 425 miles from
boat and all fit like a glove.
Paid about 280 a sheet for ply, pick up at distributor. Needed two sheets.
Applied epoxy to bottom and sides of all.
9 coats varnish, sand between every other coat.
I estimate 10-!5 hours fabrication, 10-15 hours varnish. Two quarts varnish.
The 36 has a lot of floor compared even to a 34. Five separate pieces.
This is a ridiculous amount that they want. I wouldn't pay a penny over the
yard estimate without really good reason. Call your lawyer.

Sounds like there's a need for KY Jelly!
