That was annual maintenance that I did every winter... it was a 2008. Maintenance cost was not horrible. However keep in mind that if...
I think $10k sounds high for routine maintenance. Our last boat had twin IPS 500 and if I hired it out, the maintenance was roughly $1700 total...
A couple years back, I helped a friend as he was looking at a cc from a company that had an exclusive contract with Yamaha. We both have a fairly...
