absolutely wax every year. the acid wash they use to get the goop off takes everything off, i acid wash mine and have it waxed every year and the hull is still perfect except some small scrathces 5 years later.

Waxing the boat is definitely good idea, and well worth the effort/expense. It will help slow the oxidation (dulling) process on your boat's gelcoat finish. It's even more important on the areas that have constant sun beating down on them (but don't wax the non-skid

).
