a good power washer will take most of it off, but you will need to a brush to get some of the tough spots off.

Yep...pressure washer. It's a Triumph owner's best friend. If you don't have one just use the local do-it-yourself car wash that uses the high pressure wands. Works great.

I find it interesting that the topic of bottom paint isn't part of the answer. How long would you leave your boat in the water (salt). Has bottom painting become a non issue for Triumph Owners now

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

After a power wash, those "Mr Clean Magic Erasers" with some soft scrub really make the boat look brand new.
