Anti-fouling painting rates

[joker]

Just out of curiosity, what's it cost to pay someone to apply anti-fouling paint in the Northeast? I'm getting quoted $16/ft, plus materials. Any input?

14/foot

I just paid $14 per foot material included. The job entailed pressure washing the bottom, light sanding and painting. The only problem is that I did not witness any of this, so for all I know, the marina boys just painted over a washed bottom and did not bother to sand.
