How does in-water hull cleaning and anode replacement compare with having my boat hauled out for these services?
In most cases, in-water service is less expensive and less hassle. You do not have to make haul out arrangements and you don’t have to take a day of your time to move your boat to a haul out facility, wait for completion, then take your boat back to your slip.Most haul out facilities charge between $4 to $14 per foot for a short haul power wash. These prices do not usually include anode changes and full inspections. In addition, power washing is not the best option for cleaning the bottom of your boat. Depending upon the type of paint you have used, high power pressure washers remove much of your paint protection. We believe that hand washing is a much better option and it extends the life of your bottom paint.A fully insured dive service company, like us, in the Chesapeake Bay region is a better and less expensive option.
