Incl haul out, pressure wash, block and launch ?
That s high for a boat that size... under $50 in Miami all incl. I paid $59 a foot all inclusive for an 84 footer a year ago (bigger lift required some more $) also Miami
Shop around
Try Snug Harbor in Madeira Beach. Good as long as that's all you need during haul out. OK with minor simple repairs but trim tab install on my 34 baffled them. Had to do it myself. But they do a very good bottom job at fair prices.
Snug's quote came to $78 ft. all included. :-/
Last month I paid $2950 all inclusive for my 63' MY in Ft Lauderdale.
That's a good price if the work was good. I just did Aslan in May for all inclusive $70/Ft which came to $3873. We have a lot less competition around Charleston for sure. It's worth something to stay local to inspect the work as it progresses. Of course, I could go to Lauderdale and pay your price. It probably would've worked out to $95-100/Ft. adding in the costs of getting her there and back and maybe some bread and water twice a day and three times on Sunday. Maybe I'll vacation in sunny Ft. Lauderdale in another three years or so.Quote:

I did book with Snug Harbor for $70 per ft. $1350.00 haul and labor
And aprox $1350.00 for 4 gal. paint. And $220 tax.
The only local DIY yard was 2+ month waiting list and required paint purchased from them.
Plus insurance naming them. And $40 per day.
Not complaining, I do not expect it to be inexpensive to enjoy this lifestyle !!
Where, if you don't mind saying? What kind of paint.?Quote:
