So...Useless idea #3738

marinas should install boat bottom cleaning systems like car wash
brushes except for the bottom of boats. This would keep down the
slime on boat bottoms and also prevent hard growth if done every now
and then in places without severe fouling. I imagine some sort of
brush system that scrubs your boat bottom like car wash brushes do.
What could they charge for such a service?


DANG, that sounds like a good idea, except Steve's probably right: the
EPA would shoot it down.

Would this not be a problem only with ablative paint? In FL, they use
hard bottom paint, and there are SCUBA folks who make a living
scrubbing the bottoms of the boats in the marinas. THe EPA has not
had a problem with it. They charge by the foot.
