I received a "rough ballpark estimate" of about $10,000 to do 150 square feet (the main deck on a 36' Albin trawler). Its not rocket science but is tons of labor. good luck...

I realize it will vary boat to boat but I'm just trying to establish a budget level right now. Anyone had this work done?

There are three important things to remember. 1) What are your standards for the completed project? As someone once suggested, are you looking for a job that looks good from 6 feet or more, or are you seeking a "perfect" job. 2) Is the vendor known for using high quality teak lumber? 3) Is the vendor known for the quality of their work? Finally, some high-end places might surprise you - especially for off-season work. For example, ask Hinckley and Zimmerman for a quote. They give firm quotes. You should also ask Zanheiser and the other outfit in Solomons which specializes in trawlers. Is there prep work that you can do - such as removing the existing deck?
