Hi, just wanted to introduce myself. I'm new to this forum and I'm somewhat of a boat newbie and I have some questions. Firstly, do y'all wax the bottom of your boat? I have a fiberglass boat and am noticing some algae on the bottom.

welcome to the forum!! some do wax the bottom of the boat but at least make sure you wash it. not washing the bottom of the boat can bring unwanted species like zebra mussels and may other things form the boat's past lake.

I like to wax the hull of my Donzi at the start of the season...and maybe one more time before I put it away for winter.
That's probably not enough as i don't think the wax lasts that long.

However, I do wash the bottom regularly as she lives on a trailer and a waxed hull cleans much easier. If my boat were in a wetslip for the season I'd probably just wash and wax it at the end of the season when I took her out.
