I think that it all depends on the water that you are leaving it in. I know that any boat left in Lake Havasu or even the Sacramento river delta if left in for a year will blister the gelcoat. I have seen this over and over again, doesn't matter what brand of boat it is. I do know that the water in Lake Havasu is very alkali (sp?). It seems almost harder on my boat than the salt water of the ocean.

I am just outside of Toronto. By the time I pay a carrier to bring that home I think I would be better off to find something closer to home. Thanks for the advice though!!!

I'm getting a 20000 pound HydroHoist next week for my brand new 38 Fountain. I too am a bit nervous about using this lift which I never anticipated buying until the dealer convinced me it is sacreligious to put bottom paint on a new Fountain.

If you have the model B there are four posts tie a rope to the stern post after you try a couple of time to see where the boat sits best then tie off to a cleat.the rope acts as a stopping point evey time then just lift.
