Yeah, you could say that 4 hours per engine for checking alignment is out of line!!! Checking the alignment should pay about 1 hour per engine.

An hour per engine to check the alignment is reasonable. 8hrs is not. If you need it I can forward the ABYC specs on this. It needs to be done. Don't let them do it until the boat has been floating for a minimum of 24hrs. The longer the better after winter lay up. Frank suggested 3-5 days. I'd set this as the end of the window.
