Here in New Jersey we only have to worry about stains. Nothing much grows in the water here except the funny lookin fish over by the nuke plant :rolleyes:
That is pretty amazing though.
Does it get into the internals of the drives, engines and exhaust?

Do you clean that with a weed whacker...holy chit:eek: :eek: :eek:

WOW!! Is that green!!!

25 days?? That's incredible.

Sydwayz 08-19-2003 01:31 PM

That's nasty!!!

How much effort does it take to get off? Any chemicals like acid, something you can spray on and kill it? Here on the lake I live on, it would take a couple of years in the water without use for it to look like that.

timucin 08-19-2003 01:48 PM

chemicals also kill the paint.
that sprey water takes serious amount of them out,then pate and wax for multiple times.
you know i had to stay at bed for 25 days and i never drove the boat thats why it happened like that,if i used it it would take 2 months to become like this

Shane 08-19-2003 02:50 PM

Even so, it is still unbelievable!:eek:

TulsaLarry 08-19-2003 03:52 PM

Find a bunch of Hippies and tell them that its a 'good smoke' and they will clean that boat for you.;)

hot water 08-19-2003 03:55 PM

We get the same kind of crap here in the Northern California Delta. The water here is pretty warm so algae grows really well.

When I first moved here, my first boat stayed in the water. About once a month I'd pull the boat out, spray the hull with Clorox to kill the algae,hose it off then put back in.

That was a pain in the ass. All of my boats now stay on Hydrohoists.

timucin 08-19-2003 03:58 PM

nice idea..... but what if they burn the boat while trying to smoke? ;) :p :p ;)

Strip Poker 388 08-19-2003 05:13 PM

I bet thats where they get those Chia pets you see on TV. Just add water and watch it grow>:D In our lake it just turns brown and has spider looking things on it . Also it will start growing something that looks like a Jelly fish on the bottom.

Timucin thats nasty:eek:

Airpacker 08-19-2003 05:35 PM

Not suprising at all. When I first got the Donzi I kept it in the water and cleaned it (swimming) once a week. Got old REAL fast and still when I'd pull it after a couple of months it looked like s***. When I bought the Formula I had to leave the Dozni in the water for 2 weeks while the second lift was installed, got covered with barnacles that took me a month of work to get fully removed (all the little sticker circles).

Gives a whole new meaning to "everything in the green..."

Tim:

Certain marine life actually thrives on wax, depending on the make-up of the wax. I'd experiment.

I also recommend wash-downs with a solution of Clorox, commonly referred to as "bleach." Make sure to rinse off any metal parts, because bleach can be corrosive.

There is no danger of explosion (else, just about any washer in the US would blow up.) It also doesn't harm paint if properly applied. A mild solution of bleach is commonly used to clean vinyl and to rid it of fungi. I use bleach every year on my house to rid the paint of mold, which is a fungus.

In warm weather waters, such as yours (plus the European heatwave,) there are only two real choices: bottom paint (yuck! ) or a lift.
