We keep our john boat in the river 24-7. It appears that there is about a
3/4" growth of algae on the wet surfaces. Is there a way to prevent this
and, failing that, what is the best way to get it off. Getting it out up a
river bank can be done, but it is not easy.

You can use an anti-fouling paint designed for fresh water but it will
still need to be cleaned once in a while. Best bet is to pull it out
on a trailer and pressure wash it, or skid it out with rollers and a
4wd truck.

I pulled the boat out of the river on to our floating dock ( wasn't sure I
could do that) last night. The algae is only along the bottom edge of the
transom - fairly harmless.
