Great pic. My boat is slipped in fresh water, and I see the boats near mine whose hulls in the water are like gardens now that water is getting warmer, etc. I am always glad to be heading out again with an unfettered hull, while the others sit and grow more veggies.

Not that it's ever necessary, but I always think I could use that as a reason to go out more often.

Nasty! That's ashamed. Is that just barnacles or galvanic corrosion too?
Are those outboards shot? That's a lot of money there.
Is it possible to clean that mess up?

A bit of elbow grease and Spray 9 and that will be gone in,,,,,,,,around 10 years. Wowza, how does someone let that get so bad? Too much money? There was a local NHL star I knew in the 70's, he gets a call from a marina in FLA to ask what he intended to do with his 35 foot boat? It was in drydock and paid up for 5 years of storage. He forgot he owned it. Too much money and concussions. He's broke today living with his elderly parents.
