Winterizing Costs for Pontoon Boat
Hello -
I recently moved onto a small inland lake (511 Acres) and am looking to purchase a pontoon boat for spring usage. I have been advised that purchases in the Fall are at a steep discount, because owners want to avoid winterizing fees. The marina is telling me that winterizing the boat and motor will be about $1000. Is this right? My local marina told me to pull and store the boat is about $150 (including shrinkwrap) or I misunderstood his message. What should winterizing cost, and what can I do myself?

Usually the $1000 is for winter storage (charged by the foot) and the $150
for the winterizing materials and labor. Shrink wrapping can run around $10/ ft more. You need to do all three unless you can trailer the boat to your yard. "El Penguini" wrote in message ...
