Competent yards are not universal so you're lucky you latched onto one. From experience, that work wasn't cheap but it's done now for years and all you have to do is add a coat of bottom paint each year or so and you're good to go. For a while, at least, you should notice an increase in performance, higher top speeds, translating into a little less at the fuel dock. Happy boating

If you are looking for a very nice 29 M mine is for sale. It is priced reasonable... however not at Jeff's price :) Shoot the bottom job may be close to that ! :)

At least! Another advantage for the towed behind an RV boat.
