The 230 weekender I bought spent all last summer in the lake without being used and no bottom paint.Needless to say it was a breeding ground for the zebras. tired all types of cleaners none worked very well and most were expensive.But I found some thing that works great and it's inexpensive .Oven cleaner spray it on and it clings to the bottom of the boat and with a little scrubbing with a scotch bright pad it comes right off with very little effort at all then just hose off.
