Believe me Bear, after a few years keeping my boat in salt water and pulling it out every so often to clean the hull sucks. I finally bottom painted my boat last year. Last year was great never pulled the boat, but year 2 with the same paint I'm noticing my top end dropping so I'm not sure if I lost some paint (I hear peeling is an issue) or it's just losing it's effectiveness. but over all still happy not pulling it out every few months
