Coming from Ohio and not growing up around salt water I had no idea that when I leased a boat slip and kept my boat in the water for around 5 months that barnacles were going to invade the bottom of my boat. Barnacles don't come off with just pressure washing or a scrub brush, it takes scraping and chemicals. Needless to say I'm letting the boat slip go and will be dropping the boat at the public docks when I want to go out.

| I pulled the boat from the water and brought it home for a scrub down |
 |
| I was amazed by what I found. Slime I understand but BARNACLES wtf |
 |
| My motor was only in the water for a week or two and look at what happened |
 |
| Just horrible |
After pressure washing and Lime-A-Way and scraping with a plastic scraper the boat was 50% better but still nasty
 |
| Boat was still lookin nasty until.... |
I found a old windshield ice scrapper and boy did that thing do the job easier and better but the boat was still nasty.

| Thank you good people at the funeral home for giving my mom this free scrapper |
 |
| This is what you look like when you have been scrapping nasty ass stankin ass barnacles all day long. |
I still have to get chemicals and get rid of the barnacle adhesive circles and seal the bottom of my boat with wax and maybe paint.
I HATE BARNACLES !!!
