Does anyone know exactly what dealer prep consists of for boats such as small Montauks or Super Sports?

I was under the impression (not sure why) that the boats were delivered to the dealer on their trailers and with the engines already mounted! If that is the case, it would seem that dealer prep should not consist of much more than removing the shrink wrap and buffing up the fiberglass?!

I would appreciate input as to the condition the boat/motor/trailer is in when it arrives at the dealer and what actual prep the dealer does for the prep charge.

I do not mind paying for legitimate labor to get the boat ready to sell, but I do not want to pay a lot of money for nothing more than a mis-labeled dealer markup.

Thanks.
