Keep in mind too the wear and tear on your drives sitting in the water all season. Performance boat + bottom paint = No Resale.

Ended up buying an Airdock for it. No paint and out of the water. Problem solved. Just crossing fingers the marina has no issue with it! Thanks to all!

paint it!
Bottom paint is not evil if done correctly.
Have had 34 scarab in the water for 4 years at our own dock on lake erie.
Put on light coat (thinned out) shark white and boat looks and runs as good as ever. In fact most people do not realize it even has bottom paint. Look at all of the Million $ sport fish and other boats, all painted bottoms. Do not allow build up and you will be fine.
Note: Do not prep bottom by sanding or use primer. At end of season, use high pressure washer and paint will come off with out a problem.

If you're going to store it in the water full time, the Interlux Epoxy Barrier Coat is a good option! Nowadays, instead of using the old self etching primers on the new boats....everyone uses the barrier coat system before the bottom paint goes on.

Brandon-
What are your suggestions for products to use to clean the bottom of a boat that has sat in the water? Where is the best place to by those products at LOTO?
Thanks
