You might grow a bit of algae, but when the boat is out of the water, you can remove it easily. If it you are in salt water - and depending on the water temperature - the main problem is barnacle growth; the warmer the water, the faster the growth. That is why you need anti-fouling paint on the bottom for salt water; to stop the barnacle growth, or if you had a wooden boat, toredo worms which make the bottom of the boat look like Swiss cheese.

Montypals:
I am currently building a SCAMP sailboat, so I have had to move my Monty over to a friend’s house for now. That got me to thinking that maybe now is the time to put the Monty in a slip at the local harbor. I don’t have any antifouling paint on the bottom of the boat. Would the boat be OK for 3-4 months that way?
