Folks,
I just moved into my place down here in FL and it has a boat lift out back.
Just for safety's sake, I had a boat lift company come out and inspect the lift to see if there was anything that I needed to do.
They faxed me the quote (pictured below). It dang near knocked my socks off! I know everything in boating is more expensive, but shi*!
At any rate, I'm wondering if you guys have any insight as to the rates I'm being quoted below. The guy was a really nice guy and seemed honest, so let's assume all recommended items need to be done.
I'm most interested in hearing if people have done any of the maintenance items themselves. For example, I'd like to replace my own cables. Also, I think I'd be more than qualified to replace the runners myself instead of paying $700 in materials for him to do it...
Thank you in advance for any help!
