Rough Cost for Gel Coat?

[ramiroelliot]

I am looking at a fiberglass boat today, built in 1990, and wanted to know how much a new gel coat would cost. I don't know if the boat will need one right away or even in the near future. I'd just like to have that information in my back pocket.

I live in the PNW which will influence the cost.

The boat is a 22 ft C-dory cruiser.

Most of the building done on this site is done using epoxy. Gel Coat does not work with epoxy so you might get much help here with gel coat. Most boats here are painted. Where I live 90% of the work boats are painted. High end paint will last a long time and shine better.
