[QUOTE="flatheadsteve, post: 509059, member: 33666"] There is a reason people pay good money to keep boats on a lift and out of the water on the lake,river ,etc. Mine gets left in the water for 2 weeks straight a couple times a year when we go on vacation at the lake and always needs a powerwashing and little elbow grease to clean off the slime and algae and that's a clear clean mountian lake. A good coat of paint and some wax makes it easier to clean but isn't really necessary if you want to keep it bare aluminum. Take a look at all the pontoons out on the water they're usually left in for long periods and are usually bare aluminum. You can tell who pulls them out occasionally and clean thems up and who doesnt. It's not going to cause any lasting damage to a hull unless your one of the ones that never bothers to clean it. Even then it's more of a cosmetic thing . [/QUOTE]
