I would pull the boat every weekend before I put bottom paint on a boat that does not have it..... I pull my 35 Cig every weekend since its heavier then my Baja was and I cant rack it anymore where I am at, I thought it would suck but its not that bad, good part is its already on trailer so its easy to clean, or take home to maintain anytime...
I spend my time at the beach srubbing the side of my boats when I am in the water to get all the crap off the side and bottom.

I agree with you but if you leave it in with no bottom paint the water does penetrate the gel coat and fiberglass. Other then the looks of it if you leave your boat in you should bottom paint. boat will be faster with the bottom paint over the course of the year, won't yellow like it does with out it......
