I should have checked my 101 Projects for Your Boxster book. They have it as 16 hours.
It took about four hours just to replace the plastic window when I had it done ($400). I do not recommend this, just replace the top. Those old bits do not like to be removed and put back on. Replacing my Miata top took about 6 hours if I recall but wasn't done very well. I thought someone more experienced would have done it faster and better.

Here are some bonus pics Pelican posted.Pelican Parts Photos - 101 Projects for your Porsche Boxster: Project 70 - Convertible New Top

I guess any repair charging $600 or less on labor is a good deal.

Did the top come with new seals for the rear? Mine are toast. They keep coming loose.
