Depends on how warm the water is. In Tampa Bay, in the summer, one
week in salt water will start barnacles. But in the winter, you can
go for 2-3 weeks with only some algae growth.

Hello.

What would a week in salt water do to the bottome of a new fiberglass boat.
Mine is treated with paint and came from a marine owner. My friend's is
brand new, only fresh water usage with no protection.

Thanks,

Greg
