1550 for a quarter stringer repair?!?! Wtf that's ridiculous. I'm so sick and tired of all these shops trying to rip off fellow boaters just because they know how much we love out floats....really f***ing 1550??? It's wood, it's glass, it's a cut off wheel and some sanding. Wanna save yourself 1300 bucks??? Google is your friend. Don't be afraid to get dirty. 1550...i wish somebody would quote me that to replace 1/4 of a stringer so I can take that quote, roll it up nicely and shove it up their a**. It's 400 bucks in material at worst...not to mention he's paying his workers 14/hr soooo he's making 900 bucks off your dilemma. Wow! I have 3 guys right now that are ready to replace both stringers on a 3/4 stringer float for 500 bucks.
