I am on a freshwater landlocked lake.I am looking for info from people who have 28 ft and above sailboats in the same situation about haul out costs and bottom job costs.Any info would help me. They are trying to tell me that $12 a foot is a resonable cost for haul out and then another $12 a foot for launch.$7 a foot for mast take down and another $7 a foot to put back up.$35 a foot for bottom paint and another $35 a foot for barrier coat. What do you all think??Is this price gouging or reasonable? Thanks

Pretty Pricy
Launching a boat at $12ft. is a lot higher than people pay In Missouri. About $150 to lift off a cradle, put on trailer and dump into lake. Makes you wonder what the footage has to do with launching. Same crane, trailer and number of people as a 30-35 ft. boat. The paint charges are hard to determine since it depends upon how thorough a sanding job and what kind of paint is used. A 28ft should use about 1 1/2 galons of bottom paint. Still seems high.

overpriced
You can check the proces on Torresen's website under "services". And I thought Michigan was an expensive place to keep a boat!!

Per foot pricing
The reason they charge by the foot is very simple: People with bigger boats have more money.

The only game in town because
The lake I am on is a Corp of Engineer lake.Therefore the rules are different than commercial waterways.However,the lack of competition should not be a open mandate to steal as much money from boatowners as possible.I am inquiring to the Corp as to the rules governing commercial enterprises but I have not received word back yet.Thanks for the responses so far.

Prices
I have a 31' Hunter on one of the biggest lakes in New England. My marina charges me $85.00 in and $85.00 out. Winterize the engine $50.00 Summer slip including all electricity and water is $85.00 per foot. Winter storage is $2.50 per square foot. I have always done my own bottom paint and rigging so I cant help you there. Good Luck. Darren

$8 per day
Paul: I pay about $8 per day (Lake Erie) for my h376, which includes summer dockage, Fall haulout, bottom pressure wash, winter storage, and refloat in the spring. Also included are water and electricity, and, showers. Bottom painting runs about $11 per foot

Phil's right about it being the only game and Jeff
has the best prices. I guess that makes my H26 the best inland water moorage deal around. $500 for the season and I get to rig, launch, retreive and un-rig by myself. Then I can tie up at my slip by myself for the same increadably low price. BUT....I have 132 miles of sailing up or down the river with the river being 1/2 to 3 miles wide. Since the river is a National Park Service area there is no development of the shore line. We can beach, anchor or camp wherever with very few neighbors, none if you don't count the deer. Moose do count and are allowed 3 campsites. So much for my comment that relates to nothing said above. That's why I sail, so I can leave the part of the world that I wished didn't count!

WOW
I feel really good about the marina I use since I pay $25 in and out and $50 for lowering the mast. My annual marina fee for my slip is $700 with electric and water included, and that also includes storage on the Marina parking lot in the winter....
