My boat will be going into the water in about two weeks. At the end of last season I asked the marina to wax the hull. My understanding is it is worthwhile to wax the sun exposed part of the hull at least once per year. So, the guy from the marina called and told me that there is severe scuffing on the hull which needs to be repaired. He wants $700 to do something that involves grinding or sanding the whole hull and refinishing it somehow.

What do think he is talking about? My wife makes fun of me because I obsess over the boat and will say yes to anything that will keep it in mint condition.

But, maybe I'm being taken for a bit of a ride. Anyone?
