re boots $$$
SkyKing
I investigated when looking at various aircraft to purchase. If I can remember here is the lowdown. Best to check with BF Gooderich in Akron Ohio for the boot prices.
Need larger vacuum pumps $2k
need reverse flow and control solenoids $8000 (new ?) There are getting to be really expensive and they don't exist on the surplus market.
boots about 25-30K installed (based on replacements)
contol box (right front pass side) / timers and relays $4000 ??
labour ? 40hrsX50 = 2000 +
test, weight and balance, wiring, switches, control box installation.
Total : somewhere between 40-50 k.
Then there is the hot plate for the front windshield. Last know going price is around $7000.00 used.
Best to find an aircraft with boots already installed, however, I believe there were only 50 or so mfg. with boots. could be wrong, but not a large percentage.
If you investigate further or have input, please update this as it is a re-occuring question.
