What do they charge to launch? Here it is about $100 for a sling launch.

A big (really big ) motor yacht called the Ice Bear some times spends a lot of time in transient moorage here. Moorage is about 30 cents a foot per day so that makes the Ice Bear about $30. The harbor master says, you have to move the boat every three days or you get fined. Ice Bear says, how much is the fine? Harbor Master says $50 a day. Ice Bear laughs! Hell, we pay $1500 a day for moorage in our home port! We'll pay the fine.
