Hi,
I hope some of you more knowledgeable folks can help me with a project that I have in mind. I live on a saltwater creek in south Georgia that goes "dry" at low tide. By dry I mean soft "pluff mud". My boat sits in this mud about 6" and gets "pea" barnacles on the bottom below the mud line. The boat is painted with ablative anti fouling but still gets the critters on it below the mud line. I cant afford a boat lift right now but am considering building a "wash rack" type of cradle that the boat could settle on at low tide and keep the bottom out of the mud. No barnacles above the mud line ,only water scum that can be easily cleaned with a stiff brush and some elbow grease.If anyone has a link or any ideas about how this could be done I sure would appreciate any input.
Thanks.
Ajahman.

How big is the boat?

Note; You may want to look in to the legality of building anything that is going to be put in the water permanently. You could run in to some trouble with the Ga. DNR.
