Описание: 13 Habits to Make Your Boat Hull Last Over 20 Years Without Repairs

Before neglecting your boat hull maintenance, make sure you know which habits prevent catastrophic damage and which ones preserve gelcoat for decades! In this video, we break down 13 essential hull maintenance habits based on real marine surveyor insights, professional detailer recommendations, and long-term hull preservation data. Whether you own a new boat or a classic, this guide will help you avoid expensive gelcoat restoration and make confident maintenance decisions.

The 13 HABITS covered in this video have proven their worth through decades of real-world results. From freshwater rinsing after every trip to UV-protective waxing every three months, proper below-waterline inspections to immediate marine growth removal, and correct hull support during storage—these habits are what separate hulls lasting 5 years from those exceeding 20. We'll break down exactly what each habit prevents, how much money it saves, and why marine surveyors with 30-year-old pristine hulls never skip them.

These aren't complicated or expensive habits. They're simple maintenance routines that protect your gelcoat from UV damage, prevent osmotic blistering, stop water intrusion, and maintain structural integrity. One surveyor inspected a 28-year-old hull that lost only 0.1mm of gelcoat thickness using these exact habits. Zero blisters. Mirror finish. Structural perfection.

Whether you're a saltwater boater or freshwater cruiser, this video gives you the inside scoop on which habits preserve hull value—and which mistakes will cost you thousands in gelcoat restoration and blister repairs.
