A boat repair invoice needs the vessel identified, the work described, parts itemized, labor by the hour, and any haul-out, launch, or storage days shown separately — plus payment terms.

The line most yards forget
Storage. A boat waiting six weeks on a backordered part is occupying space you could have sold. State a grace period and a daily rate on the intake paperwork — not after the fact.
Skipping the copy-paste
Software that carries the approved estimate straight into the invoice means no re-typing, no missed lines, and a payment link the owner can pay from anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
Should haul-out and launch be separate from repair labor?
Yes. They're yard operations with their own cost, and a customer comparing repair quotes needs to see which parts of the number are lift time and which are actual repair work.
How do I invoice a job that changed scope?
Show the original approved items and the added ones as clearly separated lines, ideally with the approval date noted. A change the customer can trace is a change they pay for.
Should I bill storage while the boat sits waiting on parts?
State a policy up front — a grace period, then a daily rate. Boats waiting on backordered parts can occupy a yard for months, and an unstated storage fee is one you'll never collect.
