i worry about the water line on the boat, pine needles on the mooring cover, storms, etc.
any advice would be appreciated.
thanks
If you have a dock, why spend the money for valet???? If you get a bit of slime on the water line scrub it off. No big deal. Pine needles on the cover? You sound a bit too picky. Shake it off and stow it. There are a lot more boats kept in the water compared to in valet around the lake. Cleaning your boat is simply part of ownership.
