I just had a little "marine maintenance" sticker shock myself. Dropped the boat off on Wed at my guy asking for a "spring check up" which normally includes oil change, filters, new plugs, grease bearings, charge batteries and a few other small ticket items. It cost me 427 to pick it up today...OUCH! Glad I didn't pull the trigger on a mast/planer board system...needed that cash just to get the boat in the water.
Guess I'll be running the same rigs as last year. I'm off on Monday and MIGHT go up depending on what I'm seeing on the lake cams. Feel very certain that ice out will come this week (early this week) so I'm thinking of burning a vacation day on Friday.
