Olmsted wanted to charge me $6000 for a 3 inche by 1 inch fiberglass repair and to compound and wax the boat. It was only a 17 foot bass boat.

My father has earned his reputation by honesty and quality 6000 for a fiberglass repair and detail job can be expensive but i have yet to see a job like that go to 6000.00 thats just my opinion

Co-Owner the business is shared with his other brothers and sisters and my dad would be the one that gave you the quote. depending on how bad the repair was and the location it may have gone up to 6000. When he writes the estimate he breaks down every individual step so that the customer knows exactly what he is paying for and why the cost is so high.
