Hi Daniel, probably not. We had a boat in fresh water every summer in the great lakes without fouling paint and we would clean off the hull with TSP every fall when it was hauled. It left a brown stain. I have my M-23 in a slip on the Chesapeake and it would never last 3-4 months that way untreated. Hard growth and soft would find it a great home. And hard growth is nasty to get completely off without damaging the hull finish. Good luck with the Scamp! I like the boat and have followed it through Small Craft Advisor. I like building boats (in classes mind you) and am really happy that this boat has led many to build boats. I think it is a great size for building and a very cool boat once done. I really do feel that in many ways the smaller the better. Robbin M-23 "Pinch me" Deale MD On 8/15/2015 12:40 AM, Daniel Rich wrote:

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?
