Please note that the PICTURE UPLOAD function is not working. The iBoats Forum Moderators are working with the system administration folks at the parent company to get the issue resolved. This happened about a year ago and here we are again. In the meantime you can post photos as links to a picture hosting site of your choice. We are sorry about the inconvenience and will advise when the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.
3rd of the polls.
This poll is private, your answers can not be seen. This is for the hourly guys only. What is your total base pay per hour, not your total compensation package which includes benefits, bonus's etc etc.
It comes down to supply and demand. Also your experience plays a big roll. If a shop is charging say $85 an hour you bet the teck is only getting $30 or less.
In CA labor rate for boat service shops is any where from $100-$150 with the average being $110-$130 depending on where you go. But if you do come here, Try to stay along the cost for better pay. Come inland and they know they don't half to pay as much and get a way with it Good luck where ever you go
