Approximate cost for revarnishing interior

[gaucho]

Im looking at buying a 40 foot sailboat with teak interiors from 1981. The wood looks tired and in need of a revarnishing job. Anyone have an idea of a ballpark figure for such a job? I just want to know more or less how to budget for it when looking at what price to offer.

In the USA hourly rates for labor can run 85 to 110 per hour or more. This could take you 3 or more weeks of time and material.

Usually, refinishing an interior is something that is better handled by the new owner themselves over time. Really, unless your boat from 1981 has a near perfect interior you will probably find more pressing needs that will deserve your money and attention.

IMO - don't factor the refinish into your buying decision.

Where we are, this is about 15k. This includes all work and materials. 2 weeks of work.
