    whats the going cost of a good laminator

    I got a call from a guy today and he wants me to help him layup a 34 foot trihull, basic hulls there, so its from there up.
    Hence the question, if I decide to do it, whats it worth an hour?
    cheers

    or are you actually doing the job.
    can he sue you if it is wrong.

    is it a cash job or is tax involved

    do it through my my business I reckon, dont know if I am that keen, but in saying that, thos is a concept hull that has only been produced in a 10 footer to check flow of water/air etc.
    34 foot long x 4 meter wide, its a big boat.
    could be an interesting project to be involved in.
    going to have a look in the next week or so and then make a decision because a lot will rest on whats been done to date. I have only been privy to sight the 10 footer at this point in time.
    cheers

    G'day Blaze
    Just had a chat to a bloke who owns his own fibreglassing business. He pays his best laminator $18 an hour. So somewhere around the $20 mark would be realistic from an employees point of view. Apparently there's a formula you can work out for boats in regards to cost and amount of materials needed to help forecast costs. This will also help with working out a total cost for the labour part.
