Default Advice needed on storing boat in Florida - Part 2

Can an anti-fouling coat be applied to a fiberglass boat like a CS,
and is it worth the cost? How is such a hull normally kept well
maintained in Florida?


Yes and yes. You *must* have anti fouling paint on any boat that is
left in the water for more than a few days.

On a similar note, assuming the security is equal, is it worth paying
twice the storage cost to keep a boat inside, or will a good quality
cover protect it well enough from wind/rain/sun?


If you are not going to be around to check on it, I'd recommend
inside. Covers leak, tear and get blown off all the time.
