We took our boat in yesterday, for it's winterization.
Our boat is still under warranty, and only has 23 hours on it, even though we have owned it a year in August.
I don't do the winterization, as my mechanical abilities are just below acceptable.
PLUS, I want it done right.
We don't know how much it will cost yet, BUT, was wondering what various dealerships charge to winterize boats.
I had some left-over spray fogging from last year, so I took it with me.
Was just curious. Last year, I paid $264.00 to have it done. That included the oil, filter, fogging oil, and lower grease. I checked at Cabela's, and Bass Pro as well, and the dealership made $1.00 on the oil, and $0.50 on the filter. (I had put in Sta-Bil myself, before taking it to the dealership).
According to Wally World prices, they made $0.25/gallon on the antifreeze they used.
I guess that he made up for it on the labor, as it was $175.00.
I'd do it myself, but I don't have the ability to pump the lower grease in the lower unit.
Anyhow, was just curious.
