I will add that to the growing list of reasons I’m glad I live on the north
side of the border.

We don't really have any of those clubs, I hear about in Canada, around these
parts. Most boatyards here see boat owners as 'marks' and try to squeeze as
much of the boat owners money as they can get. I was paying over $900 to haul,
unstep/step the mast, and move the boat a couple miles to and from the storage
yard, each way. That's for a 40 foot boat with about 50 foot stick.
Not all boat yards are run this way. I can think of 2 right now that were good
experiences but neither of them can handle my boat. One will only take boats
up 34 feet and the other did not want to mess with the track of the Sheafer
boom furling system that ran up the mast.
Most other yards make me want to sell my boat and give up on boating until i
retire...

Same here (NSC in Ottawa). If you do it yourself, it cost you nothing; you
just need a few friends to help. If you hire a local “service provider”, they
will do it for about $100. I use them for the haul-out and unstepping in the
fall, or for launching and stepping in the spring and the total cost is around
$200-$300 (depending on the size of the boat). Our spar crane can handle most
of the masts, though the Club limits the boat size to 36’ (so the masts are
also limited in size). I think our spar crane can handle 500 kg max.

We have a spar crane at our club that is no charge to members. We get a
group of owners together to do our own
If we pay someone it is under $500 each way for boat such as the 35. I
suspect that you may need to hire a boom truck, etc as part of your mast down
and put it back up

As part of a quote for potentially painting the topsides, we were given a
cost for the local rigger to take the mast out and put it back in. I thought
$1500 was a little steep, but I haven't done this since we had our 29-2, so
maybe prices have gone up by 10X in the interim. I'm curious as to what kind of
costs folks are incurring on their mast work just to see if this is reasonable.
I also recently got a quote for $4500 which then ballooned to $9000 and
counting to replace our rod rigging with wire. Does this sound at all in the
ballpark?
