Remember, a delivery to a home ties up two men and a truck for at least an hour to load, transport, and launch your machine. If you don't have a registered trailer they have to provide that too. And then, someone has to go to your house to pick up the person who drove the ski there.

What would you think is a reasonable charge for that service (or the service you expected) so that the dealership could at least break even?
We used to drive the customer's craft to their dock/boathouse and secure it.
Still two workers (one, obviously, to get the other and himsel back to work), but no loading/truck/trailer that would accrue an hour of labor cost. The delivery cost was, as I remember, a flat nominal charge. Even rainy days were fun for deliveries!!!
