Letâs get back to the utility issue, because center-consoles are like hunting dogs: They're optimized to do a job, and that's where they shine. Sure you can buy a center-console boat so big and beefy that it has a cabin with berths, a galley, and air-conditioning. But a âstandardâ center console from, say, 20 to 30 feet long, is a relatively simple and straightforward open boat with some weather protection for people behind the console and under the Bimini top.

1 Installing hardwood stairs costs approximately $100 to $200 per step, including labor and materials. 2  Assuming that the stair case has 17-20 stairs, thatâs a total estimated cost of $1,700 to $4,000. Assuming that the stair case has 17-20 stairs, thatâs a total estimated cost of $1,700 to $4,000. 2  Depending on the contractor, staining and finishing (with a urethane product) the newly-installed stairs might be included with the job. 3  If not, it will cost extra (of course, you can stain/finish the stairs yourself).
Stair Lift Cost. If you have a basic straight staircase, expect to pay between $2,800 to $4,000. In some circumstances, stair lifts can cost up to $15,000, depending on your market or staircase configuration. The cost quoted usually includes installation. In some municipalities, permits and/or site inspections are needed which will affect the cost you pay for a stair lift.
