- Nordic Tug 42
Recently bought a Nordic Tug 42. In process of refurbishing to Bristol. Wife doesn’t like carpet. Carpet is in good condition but a hard surface is easier to keep clean especially for sand and doesn’t harbor mold spores or other allergens. She prefers the aesthetic of natural teak and holly which we had on the last boat. I’ve convinced her synthetic is preferable on a boat due to absence of maintenance, durability and non porous surface. The factory option is Amtico (teak)as a upgrade on original build. Boat’s in Deltaville VA at present but documented to R.I. and expect to return to R.I. sometime this early summer. Quote was generated by installer who resides in my home town-Plymouth MA.
Got a quote of $8k to replace all flooring including staitrs, kickboards etc. with Amtico (teak). Quote includes all labor and materials. This will need reconstruction of stairs with some natural teak (not veneer) in places. Gentleman from whom I received quote was said to be “the man” for this job by Wilde (major east coast NT dealer) and other NT owners.
?Does $8k sound like a reasonable quote?
The Amtico product looks really good. Is there anyone anywhere on the US east coast to whom I should ask for another quote?
Is there another product I should consider? Another installer?
Thanks
