Speaking of barnicles,
In the northeast, you will start to see the beginnings of barnicles after two weeks. At this stage, they can be power washed off. If you go any longer, it will get alot tougher. I can't believe how fast they take hold in Fl.

Growing up and boating in NJ, I came to the same stark realization when I moved down here.

Been there, not fun. Yep, I know exactly where Huber's is.

I'm going to Panama City Fl.
I can use the park launch a couple of miles from the condo. I spoke to the condo and their security people today. They have a place on the premises for boats. gated resort w/ 24 7 security. I will chain and lock the boat and trailer and block it with other cars if need be. I plan on washing and flushing w/ salt away after running it.
I think I have it covered now:cool:
