I like to clean the boat after each use, and I find all I
need to do is to hose the spider **** off the deck.
Bingo.
Just curious. Why would you wash the boat *after* you used it other
than to rinse off the salt (if you boat in salt water)?

We wash our boat before we take it out or when we get to our swimming
hole.
I spend 30 minutes to an hour scrubbing down our trailerboat after each
use. If we've been fishing, there's fish blood and baitguts everywhere,
plus the residue from salt water, which you need to do more than just
"rinse" off. Got to rinse off the trailer and the trailer brakes, too,
and flush out the motor.

It's quite a ritual.
I understand. But Reggie never claimed to fish. He said his boat was a
bubble boat used primarily for use as a hotel room at the dock. ;-)

You don't really believe Reggie Retardo has a boat, do you?

His post quoted above now confirms (to me) he does not own a boat.



Wow, I would love to see the post where I ever said I used my boat as a
hotel room at the dock. I don't believe I have ever slept aboard the
boat at the dock. I have said I used the boat as a floating condo, but
it is always in a cove.

Now if you and Harry actually used your boats, you would understand why
it makes sense to rinse and wash your boat off AFTER you use the boat,
especially if people (especially kids) had been eating on board the boat.

I understand why Harry believes people make up stories about owning
boats (or all aspects of one's life), but it does make me wonder why you
think people would fabricate a fictitious boat.

If you go back and read your posts when you were not a boat owner, you
could find numerous reasons why someone could enjoy rec.boats even if
they did not own a boat. I have no reason to pretend I am a boat owner.
