Steve, I’m in the process of replacing my cabin sole, for the 2nd time stupidly, and this sounds very high for that sort of a job. The others have calculated the costs and I am in agreement with their totals, around $4,200 to rebuild a cabin sole of the size in a 41. And I’m disturbed that some of the fitment is not tight. If they had the originals then there should be no bad joints or looseness. Good work with a router and some hand sanding should make for tight joints.
As regards the cost of varnish, I’m using AwlGrip’s Awlwood product this time around and is $70.00/quart for both the clear primer and the gloss finish…. I would try get detailed data on how and what was done on this project. I hope it all works out for you.
