Answer 1

If you can get a 5.00 in water, jump on it! Reality is, it will cost you more like 10 bucks a foot depending on how bad they are. More growth, the price goes up.

Answer 2

Bets way is to go over the side with scraper & scrubbing brush - that way you can inspect the hull at the same time.

Answer 3

Whatever the going rate is in your area. I pay about $70 for a cleaning every 3 months for my 38' here on SF Bay ...  Plus the cost of zincs if necessary. Well worth it considering the temperature of the water.  Check with dive services in your area and other owners in your marina.

Answer 4

Around 3.50 to 5.00 dollars a foot and they will also give you a report on the condition of the hull.
