I'm hauling out Wind Dancer at Seaview in a few weeks to paint the bottom and install new zincs and am shocked at the cost.  Over $500 including tax for haul and pressure wash (which they won't let you do yourself).   Much of this is the $70 environmental fee plus the $102 they charge for pressure washing.  I haven't hauled out since October '07 -- have prices really increased so much?  I used the Port of Everett's facilities last time but don't want to make the 50 mile round trip that weekend.  Are there closer boat yards I should be checking out?

Jay - The shipyard here bungles these costs into a seasonal price. But I believe when I was launched last year the cost was $12 per foot. Update - I checked my records tonight and it was $8 per foot each way, haul and launch.

Jay,
When I hauled two years ago in anacortes, Skyline it was $5.50/ foot for the round trip.  Pressure wash was $2.50/ foot, but not sure about an environmental fee.  My diver actually scrubbed the bottom the morning it was pulled (I have that done 3 times a year plus he checks and replaces zincs) which is cheeper.  I haul and paint every 3 years which works for me.  My total yard bill was $3.12, and I bought and applied the paint.

Jack,

Thanks for the info.  That's more along the lines of what I paid in Everett in '07.  I may wait until I have a weekend free and combine a trip with a little work. . .  I love being at Shilshole but everything is more expensive in Seattle than in surrounding areas.

Does anyone have any recommendations for the south sound area?
