What I have found is that the cost of winterization is really only incremental to storage/wrapping. Thurstons charges a fixed fee for winterization/storage/spring setup. In addition, they do service work during the winter so your boat is ready to go when the season starts. In my book, that is advantageous relative to getting someone to do shrinkwrap and potentially losing some of the boating season. On the other hand, I do my own winterization/spring setup on the jetski as I store that myself. It is a bit of a pain to drag it to the dealer for stuff that I can do myself.
