Short Haul
A quick haul out for an inspection, a prop change, or a bottom check, then back in the water
Out Of The Water And Back In
A short haul lifts your boat out of the water for a short time so we can inspect or work on the bottom, then puts it right back in.
If you hit something, hear a new vibration, or want to check the bottom mid season, a short haul gets eyes on the hull, drive, and props without a full haul out and storage.
- Propeller changes
- Drive inspections
- Bottom checks

Short Haul Questions
A short haul lifts your boat out of the water for a short time for an inspection or quick repair, then puts it back in without a full haul out.
Hauling and launching with the travel lift are $8 per foot each, and any work done while the boat is out is billed at $175 per hour plus materials.
That depends on what we find. We let you know the plan and timing once the boat is out and inspected.
