And it may. You are correct in that it depends on the boat. Some are much worse than others. Some need interior removed, some have rusted fasteners, some need the hatch removed, etc. It takes time to do it right. Everything needs to be covered to protect the paint and upholstery. As a shop, you have to factor in all the time it takes to cover everything, take them out, remove the bell housing, coupler and flywheel, and get them on a stand, and pick up everything. It's not just the removal.
By the way, my shop rate is only $65/hr. That's not an excuse to charge more hours, just stating my rate, as most are at $90+/hr.

Thank you Jeremy. I consider myself lucky that I get to do something I truly love to do. i enjoy going to work everyday. Sometimes it can be frustrating, but what isn't? It makes those good days that much better. If you didn't have some bad days, then you wouldn't appreciate the good ones as much
Keep after it buddy. Hope to meet you one day.
