Nope. Didn't even lube it up first.

I do have a question but is this your first boat or first inboard boat?

Forgot to mention but it sounds like your dealer is making a killing on charging 5hrs labor for less than 3hrs work.

This goes back to her telling me that each job is billed by the book, not actual time. I've placed some calls on pricing at some other dealers in my area.

What do you guys pay for indoor storage over the winter?

$650 for cold indoor for me at dealer. It's high but the connivence of one stop for everything is worth it for us.

My place originally told me 1000 for cold indoor storage. I told them I could get the same closer to my lake for 350. They dropped to 750 but as we can see nothing is free in this world.

460 heated storage. I do my own winterization (to be safe) and fluid changes.

Another thing, maybe I'm in the minority here but don't you either ask what the charges are for something or at least get a copy of what you're having done prior to giving the ok? I know before I towed my boat into the dealer I called ahead to schedule and inquire about costs. Then when I dropped off my boat they printed off a work order/invoice and had be sign for approval. They kept a copy and gave me one as well. I haven't picked up my boat yet but know from having service done over the summer that I will get a final copy of the work order/invoice when I pay and pick up my boat once it's complete.

Does everyone not do this? I'm not discounting the ass plundering they're giving you one bit, but still, I feel you dropped the ball somewhat here as well if this is coming as a complete surprise.
