Ok, received in today's mail the "proposal" from our marina to winterize boat. Kind of funny because boat was pulled last week by our mechanic to winterize and store, but if what marina wants is any indication I don't know why anyone would use. Am I missing something or is this proposal just absurd? (And just for the record, it's a great marina and great place to dock.)
2004 23' Chaparral cuddy. No air. No gen. One Volvo sterndrive and engine. 7 gallon water tank with two outlets. Price is as follows:
Dry storage-$161. Inside-$690.
Shrink Wrap-$575.
Hauling and launch, inc. bottom wash-$379.50.
Full Winterization-$720 (materials extra). (Or basic winterization-just draining everything, $540.)
Outdrive service-$375.
Oil Change-$360 (plus materials).
Batteries-remove and store-$60.
So if I'm right,to pull and launch a 23', store outside, change the oil, service the outdrive and shrinkwrap would be $2630 plus materials. So basically $3000. Am I wrong or is that insane? I changed the oil and fuel filter before layup. $62.00. They want $400?
I'm pretty certain that I paid about $1200 last year, and that included touching up the bottom paint for $125!
