A bow cover as shown about 4 hours. The cockpit cover takes a full 8 hours using my methods. Add shop's time spent on quote day, time Betsy spent ordering material and the choreographing of boats in and out of the shop. My job was to create the best products and keep her updated on completion. A lot of her time was wasted chasing customers. Include this time in your quotes. I have a video called quotes and renders in the Low & Slow playlist. Good Luck. -EZ
