I've been keeping our boats in the water my entire life. The convenience if being able to walk right down to the dock and go riding after work is unmatched by having to trailer it. Considering how much these boats cost I want to be able to use it as much as possible. Most of the risks of keeping it in the water can be eliminated simply by applying an epoxy barrier coat to the hull followed by an ablative anti fouling paint. Think of the Epoxy as up armoring the hull and is suggested by the manufacture to prevent blistering and the Anti fouling paint prevents marine growth. At the end of the season I simply spray it down with a pressure washer and rub off the water line. All said it takes me 30 min to clean up 7 months on the water. You can even buy this in a color to match most hulls (I've got a white LSV). I just bought my LSV last month but I've been through this process with 2 other boats and couldn't have been happier. I was also able to sell this as an upgrade to the next buyers.
