just like your car, the boat needs a wax coating to prevent the film from sticking to it and just a tip for those who do have scum buildup, while its still in the water like after your fishing trip take a rag and wipe the hull down and that scum comes right off easy because it has been soaking in water to soften it. even just 5 minutes out of the water and that scum is hard as a rock again so waiting till you get to the carwash or home just makes your job harder. I usually wait until summer to clean my hull when you can jump in the water to cool off and clean your boat off at the same time. it doesn't get all of it but it does clean off a good 80-90% of it. when you get home try letting wd40 soak on the areas above the waterline and it will make your cleaning easier as well.
