My marina here on Lake Champlain charges $4/foot. Ed
From: Jack Brennan <jackbren...@bellsouth.net> Down here in Florida, you really need to have the bottom done every month, even after a haulout and repaint. The algae growth is amazing. (The Tampa Bay area bans the sale of fertilizer during the summer to protect against major blooms.) So the divers concentrate on a volume business. They try to get a couple of dozen boats in one location they often offer a deal at large marinas then go right down the line and get them all done at once. On a monthly contract, a boat won¹t accumulate that much growth, so it takes about 30 minutes on a 30-foot boat. I suspect you folks are partly paying for drive time. Plus, there are a million divers here who love to be in the water all of the time, so there is a good deal of competition. From: Josh Muckley <mailto:muckl...@gmail.com> $35 is an amazing price, especially in a warm climate where the growth is guaranteed to be heavier. I've heard of others in the Solomons area getting a recurrent contract price of $100 per month for biweekly cleanings. Comes down to how often you think it needs done and how good your paint is.
