Understanding Boat Repair Cost Estimates

Some things are relatively simple when it comes to boats, an oil change on a modern outboard for instance, most shops should be able to provide an accurate quote quickly for that service. Unfortunately, many things are not so simple. Boat repairs span a myriad of issue that may crop up over the course of a boat's lifetime and receiving an accurate estimate for the services needed may be difficult. Furthermore, the repair you think your boat needs may only be the tip of the iceberg so to speak and issues that are just now becoming apparent are part of a larger onboard problem like with corrosion or improper wiring.

With that said, as a customer you should expect an estimate that places a ballpark range on what the service you are interested in will cost. However, more important you should ask for and receive regular updates about your boat's progress as it is serviced.

Helpful Tips for Hiring a Boat Repair Service

  • Check their reviews and ask for references and their experience doing similar jobs on other boats.

  • Ask for as accurate of a quote as possible for your boat's needs.

  • Evaluate their responsiveness. A company that is responsive whether to your inquiry on BoatEasy, emails, phone calls, etc. will likely be able to keep you apprised of your boat's status. An important factor to consider if considering a longer repair project on your boat.

  • Experience matters. A repair shop that has been in business for a while is likely to have dealt with issues similar to yours and know the best and most cost effective way to getting you and your boat out on the water.
