I asked a mate when I was down there a few years ago. He said they have to raise them, or they would be replacing lower units and thru hulls weekly.

80 degree salt water is an order of magnitude more corrosive than the NE water, and the growth is viscious.

So I guess its just a matter of $$$$$$$$$$.
For the ~6 mos of boating (3 months this year LOL) it just isn't worth it......

I had lunch at Marina Bay, Quincy, today and a couple of slips had a pair of pontoons with somekind of electrical/hydraulic connection to them. Looked like they could be lowered-pull boat into slip and then raised again. They ran the length of the slips which were 25' or so. Could handle a decent sized boat if that's what they are used for.
