It had a good coat of paint before I put it in the water. But how could marine growth "ruin" a fiberglass surface? Seems it would be nearly impervious to real damage from marine growth-- since it has survived for 40+ years without weakening.

And since there are thousands of boats similarly in the ocean water on this and every coast. The sailboats are NEVER out of that water!
