OK so let me throw a hypothetical out there. Lets say I can get into a Cafe or similar for what I feel is a great deal, $30K or less, now my issue is dockage. I have my 370 on a boat lift and will stay that way, the other slip has no lift. To launch and pull the boat everywknd just is not going to happen and will be a pain in the As* Painting the bottom is sac-religious, but I would prefer to have the boat floating behind the house to jump in and go. what options are out there besides paint?? If the boat was not painted and pulled once a month and powerwashed???
I pull mine every weekend, its no big deal, I would not bottom paint it, go buy a hoist for it or pull it, you can let it sit in water but I would not, hard to clean, your gel will bubble after time and the dives and tabs will get corroded, thats the WORST thing to do... if you can afford the boat, you should be able to afford the efforts to pull it or lift it....

Use an Air Dock.

Assuming you're salt water - that is a bad plan.
I am in virginia and leave my jet ski on a floating lift. Pull it about once a month and clean it and I have growth on it. Now I don't care because it is a 4 k dollar jet ski that I only keep for guests to use, but nevertheless it gets corroded fast.
I left my boat in once for about 5 days July 4th and wasn't happy with the result. It was more than just "slime".
