I don't have time to read all the responses, but I will attemp to help. When your boat was winterized, maybe they changed the fluids, filters, fogged the engine, drained water,etc. And all they had to do was put the drain plugs in the engine and crank it. Prolly would take them 1/2 hour or so. Now, the Sea Doo may be a different story. Is it one of those Hot Rod Supercharged things? Some PWC engines are "dry sump" engines and require a little more attention and time. As far as changing spark plugs, well, while you got them out go ahead and do a compression check on all the cylinders and make any notes on the repair order that may need to be discussed with the owner. Put anti-seeze on the plugs when you re-install, etc. Also, as far as your Sea Doo goes, it takes a few minutes to really check things over as they are complex little machines. Was $294 too much???? If everything above was done, and your unit inspected really good, prolly was not really a bad price. If your SeaDoo is a small, older unit that does'nt have all that new technology, you paid too much.

Now, that's just my opinion.

ps. Our little tifs don't bother me one bit. You have never been mean, out of the way, called me names or talked down to me.
