Agreed with all the above.

$300.00 would be generous for a winterization, I would think. But
that's plenty.

The bill from the end of last summer shows $360 pts&lbr just for the
engine oil. I'm not sure we "winterize" in California. People seem to
boat year around.
The stern drive service was billed at $250 so perhaps there was more
to that service than oil change but oil and gaskets were the only
parts listed.

$360 for an oil change on what is basically a car engine is highway
robbery. What you are talking about here is six quarts of (being
generous) $3.00 a quart oil, an $8 oil filter, an oil disposal fee, and
well under an hour's work. $75 to $$100 may be a fair price. Whoever
paid $360 bent over pretty damned far.
