Curtis, You're a lucky guy. You got a great deal on your boat I guess? Which model do you have? What year? My annual costs for slip, insurance and winter storage are more than the cost of your boat.
We had to do the keel after a very hard grounding. It was a lot of work and was a good price considering the old keel was beyond repair. Most of the cost was labor and the yard charged me half price cause I helped with every phase including glassing the new keel joint. I was able to get a newer shorter draft, Rob Ball design.
