Pontoon question

[Sunset Lady]

Looking at buying a pontoon and want to leave it in a slip on the water for the summer season and pull it out in the winter. Have not left a boat in the water before any tips or advice for me? How dirty will the pontoons get and what is good to clean them with?
Thanks

Mine get pretty bad on the river, but I haven't seen any of that on the pontoons on Cumberland. I just let the algae dry up on mine through the winter and pressure wash it off in the spring. It takes about two weeks in the river for the algae to start growing. I'm going to polish the outside of my pontoons over the winter but it will still grow on them.

I did have a pontoon acid dipped at Stokleys a couple of years ago and they charged me $150, that cleans them really good.

Mine is sitting in the water at conley right now. This is the first time I've ever left a boat in the water, so I won't know what it looks like underneath until I pull it out, which probably won't be till October. I can reply with info then.

Thanks for the information! Imaposer, would like to hear how everything goes in October. Hopefully we will find the right pontoon for us soon, and be ready for next season.

After you polish use Shark Skin.
