I have a good friend who lived on Lake Hartwell...put a new 21' Rabalo in and pulled it out from time to time to clean the scum Wilson mentioned, plus algae that will grow...took it out after several years and discovered blisters all over the bottom where water had found it's way thru the gel coat...yeah, you're going to work on it keeping it in the water full time, but it's ALMOST worth it...
I kept mine in a boat shed on the trailer for a couple of years about 1/4 mile from the ramp...bought a years pass to the ramp and that worked out really well...minimal cleanup after using in sweetwater and you can leave everything in the boat cause it's gonna be locked up in the shed...
Good luck either way and welcome to the board...
