About the template
What this boat repair quote template covers and why owners commit
Boat repair quotes lose work when 'service from $ X' is the only line. The template below shows the slipping fee, the diagnostic, parts by brand and grade (marine-rated), labour, re-launch, and any antifoul or hull treatment.
Marine-rated parts cost 30-50% more than automotive equivalents and and last in saltwater. Naming the marine-rated source on the quote justifies the price.

Avoid these
Common mistakes on boat repair quotes
The patterns that quietly lose jobs, get queried at payment time, or leave money on the table.
Mistake: Slipping fee bundled into labour
Better: Slipping is a daily fixed cost. Quote per day separately so the owner can manage hardstand time.
Mistake: Parts not marine-rated
Better: Saltwater destroys non-marine parts in 6 months. Always name marine-rated parts and warranty.
Mistake: Antifoul not flagged proactively
Better: Annual antifoul saves the hull. Quote as standard line for annual service jobs.
Mistake: Zinc anodes silent
Better: Sacrificial anodes prevent galvanic corrosion. Always include 4 zincs minimum on the quote.
Mistake: Re-launch fee hidden
Better: Re-launching the boat is real labour. State the fee separately so the cost is transparent.
Mistake: No deposit clause
Better: 30% on acceptance covers parts order. Marine parts have long lead times.
