Winterization steps/costs

[mwatermasy001]

with winter fast approaching, I'm starting to think about what I'm going to have to do to winterize my new boat. As this is the first boat I have owned, and not being all that mechanically inclined, I was wondering what I should have done to ensure my boat is properly winterized and what I might expect to pay for this...<br /><br />thanks!

I have a Chaparral 260 cruiser w/ 320 hp 5.7 GXi volvo engine (2003) and I was quoted $230.00 for the engine (includes oil change, etc.) and $80.00 for the outdrive. I am going to try to winterize the hot and cold, and A/C myself along with the head. Good luck.
