leaving the boat in the water is the worse thing you can do, figure quadrupling your service cost. Not even counting bottom paint, diving service, dock fees, etc...Dry stack is a hit or miss, some do a good job of taking care of your boat, some do not. If you use your boat on a busy weekend, make sure to have them put it back in during the following week, when they haul it out, it will a actually get flushed. Nothing gets flushed on a busy weekend. Boat lift is the next level, it puts the responsibility on you, but some things are out of reach to service or flush. Trailer is the best situation, but honestly, if you re not going to take the time to flush and wash, its not going to be much better. I've had customers after leaving slat water, will go put their boat in a fresh water ramp, take the boat for a quick spin while someone stays with the trailer on the ramp. Flushed the engine, knocks a lot of salt off, and gives the trailer a much needed bath. When I run my boat, I'll leave it in the water for the weekend, when I haul it out, it gets washed from stem to stern. Engine gets flushed thoroughly, I use salt away as well. trim system gets washed with soap and water. Then sprayed down with crc. Powerhead gets washed if i see and salt residue, then after it dries, it gets hosed down with CRC656 protectant. Trailer gets washed down with extra care on the springs and hubs
