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

hi blaze
there a lot of ifs .,
are you just helping as laboure
or are you actually doing the job.
can he sue you if it is wrong.
who paying the insurance if you get hurt.
is it a cash job or is tax involved
it depends on a few things.

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.
