    I was amazed to see 2 people on a tube behind what must have been at least a 45' Motor Yacht! It looked like the SS Minnow on steroids. This boat was old. Wood construction with paint chipping off, kitchen table and chairs on the stern deck area complete with a gas grill!!! It looked like it...

    Boat detailing cost?

    I just got a quote for $10/foot (20' x $10 = $200) for detailing my boat. Includes wash, wax vacuum, treat vinyl, etc. Pretty much a complete job. Does the price sound about right for a 1 year old boat with no major stains (inside and out) or problems? The gelcoat is still shiny with no...
