I did just that. I got certified and started cleaning the bottom of my boat only to find out it is very hard work. So I have been paying 75 bucks a month and its eating my lunch. So I will try again this spring. I got the 7 mill suite a bit thick for South Carolina, I know but I was not sure what to buy. Sometime here in the summer it needs it twice a mnth. I am going to commit to doing it my self.
