If your as anal as most of us...you won't be happy about how dirty and stained the bottom gets. Pull it every couple of weeks and clean with Slimy Grimey. Bottom painthe will slow the boat and hurt value.

Yeah i don't care about dirty as much as blisters and whatnot. I want to buy a fast boat but also want the harbor life. No lifts in chicago harbors either. I did it with an unprotected bottom last year and everything came off the bottom and no blisters either though. So i don't know.

Yeah I'm in lake michigan (chicago). Super clean and cold as well. Everything powerwashed right off with an electric powerwasher after 6 months being in the water. I did use colinite fleetwax on it prior to wet slipping. Which epoxy barrier coat did you use and what kinda boat?

Formula 272 LS and no paint. Now I did put on the trailer about mid season and end of season to really clean the bottom. The diver keeps it tidy and critter free but not real clean.
