I didn't want to waste his time, so I didn't ask him a million
questions while he was on the clock.
I'll ask here.
Does fouling occur when the boat is used daily?
My next step is to call my State Farm insurance agent and see if they
will insure a boat used and stored in Florida. I have a home and 4
cars insured with them in Illinois, but that might not matter.
One thing I've noticed when looking at boats on the web is that
I keep wanting a bigger boat. I started thinking a 16' Carolina Skiff
would do, but I'm up to a 19' DLX in just one day.
What's that all about?
Same with motors. From 30hp 2-stroke to 50hp Honda in one day.
Curious.

Fouling occurs much faster in Florida than up north. I am not familiar with
the area you are in, but on the ICW, boats quickly acquire the famous
"moustache". When I had my boat down there (a 52 footer) I had the hull
cleaned by a diver once a month.

Insurance is funny in Florida. They have laws that prevent out of state
underwriters to issue policies for property or cars registered in Florida.
You might have to use a local insurance company.
