Depends on what you do. I took a wax job on a 48' Ricker sport fish @ $15.00 per foot. Got paid friday,(by my regular job) bought a $49.99 buffer, 20.. on waxes. It took me 9 hours to finish the job, and had 3 more jobs by the end of the day saturday. That was 12 years, and three states ago. Working in Carrabelle is the worst it has been, but I still pay the bills, and feed my dogs. If you don't mind HARD work in the sun then Yacht detaling REALLY DOES PAY. Most Marinas will let you use a little shop space for keeping tools, and such. A case of scotch/wine for X-Mas, to the owner/manager of the Marina. A few Hi ticket meals thru the year, and you are in like Flynn. Every job I get that is over $800.00 bucks, I leave a bottle of wine, Good Cigar, or maybe a pair of tickets to Celtic Women in the cabin w/ the bill. You can even train a buddy to help, and pay the fella/gal $150.00 a day. For that money most people will work the entire job for you, while you go and play w/ the scoot.
