The problem: I have a 42 foot boat with a blue hull, moored in a slip that only has a finger pier on one side, that only extends about 10 feet. I want to be able to get all the way around my boat to clean the hull and keep it pretty!
I have tried laying on the deck, hanging over the side with a long handled brush, but that is awkward and uncomfortable. I have considered using a paddleboad, but it is going to want to move out from under me as I try to wash the hull.
I am thinking that a floating dock between the pilings (concrete, about 15 feet apart) might do the trick. One of the plastic modular ones would be light, easy to install, and easy on the hull if they made contact. A potential downside might be stability. It could only be about 3 feet wide, I could imagine it being tippy.
Anyone ever done anything like this? Positives, negative, comments, and advice are all welcomed.
Thanks
