Our rates start at $1.35 per foot. At this rate you're Monthly, you have an
inboard or small prop and you're in a marina where we can swim from boat to
boat. As your paint wears thin, or as the warmer waters aid in barnacle growth,
even your location in the river where growth is faster than others, your rate
will be higher. This is just a guide for both of us. We inspect & replace
zincs when needed, clean thru-hulls, hardware, props & waterlines. We patronize
ONLY LOCAL businesses when buying our zincs or repairing props. You'll get updates on your paint
condition & any damage noted while under the boat each month. We have a
minimum charge of $35, unless it's a second boat. We sell props (new &
used), pull, switch & transport props to & from prop shops & install them
again. We do hull inspections & prep for sea trials. We recommend
painting your props prior to reinstallation to deter barnacle growth as
seen on our Prop Problem page.
