It is going to be strongly dependent on the condition of the hulls

Most of the cost in a paint job is the prep. If your hulls are fair and don't have any dings that require filling you should be looking at around $120 to $150 per foot. The price could easily double if there is a lot of prep work required. Basically the hulls will have to be dewaxed, spot repaired as needed, sanded out, primed, sanded again and the sprayed with topcoat. You might get a break on the cost of the amas, but I would guess that you will be looking at around $13K to $18K not including the cost of unstepping and restepping your spar and moviong your boat into and out of the paint shed. Say an extra $900-$1,100 for the mast and in-yard moves
