The boats (all 6 launches and 3 cruisers) used to be cleaned every single night by a dedicated wash crew. The cruisers were on a rotation for back-in night as well(my favorite!) so their sterns got washed on a frequent basis. I'm not just talking a wash down with a hose, I'm talking deep cleaning with chemicals to clean those boats up inside and out. Ferries were also rotated and cleaned. That ended during my time in watercraft between Jan 2009 and December 2012

Enter: budget cuts

Result: No more wash crew. There is an early morning crew responsible for doing check lists and basic garbage pick up. The only boats getting washed on a regular basis are the MK I and MK II because they have those pirates fireworks voyages. The rest of the boats get rotated so they are getting effectively washed once every 9 days(if that) and don't even get me started on the sterns of those cruisers!

So there ya go, straight from the inside, they do not maintain like they used to.
