I have the boat with a repair shop and we are taking the boat out of this shop because of unethical business practices.We have signed no work order and it looks like this shop does not even have work orders according to the law in florida.The shop is in central florida and to take the boat to another shop we have to pay 2200$ plus to move the boat, $2200 for 20 days of storage.

I have been charged $175 per day for outside storage for just a car. There are laws about sqft and options they have like cameras, fence, guard, ect. and with most of the options they can charge up to around $1 per square foot per day when they want to screw you. So in the wrong circumstance you could have a $10,000 bill for a month of storage. I have been to court over this and have won and lost, usually from me being arrested and the car being towed to a storage lot.

That’s not really a storage facility, sounds like they are charging you for storing a project in their work shop. It’s a different deal.

He's making an example out of you for not doing business with him, possession is 9/10's of the law, you wont get the boat unless you pay the bill, cut your losses and move on.

Call the clerk of courts. You can make payment to them and pick up the boat. If they can justify any storage they will pay them and return the balance to you.

Actually, it all started in 1513 when Ponce De Leon landed looking for some upgraded sails for one of his high dollar schooners. There was some question about whom owned the boat. He came back in 1521, hoping the boat still had the masts and hadn’t been set on fire, or carted off by some outlaw and hacked into little bits for the insurance doubloons. It was still there, but there was an argument about the 8 years of storage fees. During the argument, somebody tried to whack ol’ Ponce, and he retreated to Cuba where he died. True story. Read it on the interwebz.

Out of line as storage yard rates but $100+ day for storage at a service shop isn’t that unusual. Better watch for their next step of slapping a storage lien on it. None of this sounds like fun!
