Any idea on cost?

I've been intrigued by this idea and was wondering if anyone would have a guess at how much a body shop would charge for this? The assumption would be that I would leave the boat with them for a while, and they would just shoot it with poly clearcoat when they had a car to do at the same time. I guess the biggest variable would be how they would support the boat while spraying. If the boat could be hung, it could be totally sprayed in one session. Maybe you could put toggle-holes in the ends of your boat, then put a rod or barstock through them and supported by the sawhorses/boat stands as shown in Nick's book.
