Spurred by the recent topic, I am curious where people lie on float bags / beach balls. Basically anything in your boat that makes it more buoyant.
Additional options can be added by request.

This brings up the question of how to provide just enough care for a boat. I think we can all agree that storing a boat vertically on its stern is the best option, but beyond that, do the rest of you always pull out your float bags, sponge dry the boat and the bags?

I worry about mildew, so I'm very thorough, but I also feel some urgency to take the kids off my wife's hands as soon as I get home and I would often like to just stow my kayak and forget about it.

For completeness, I store my boat in a garage that says cool for most of the year, but not cold.

Your input?

Been boating for five years now.  Never cleaned a boat once.  Sometimes I splash a little beer in there if a can blows up.  I figure thats good enough.  I do the same with my car.

I advocate the use of floatbags for sure. They make rescuing a boat easier for sure and also can provide you with more floatation after you swim -- you can climb up on your boat.

Twice my skirt blew and I was able to roll up and/or paddle away from the situation because I had floatbags. Used to underestimate their importance but not anymore.

Mine are custom shaped to fit my Eskimo. It displaces all the dead space in my boat.

I think I just need to find a better balance than pulling my float bags out, sponge drying everything, etc.

I like to keep my stuff nice, and I'd never throw a wet suit or PFD in my boat and leave it, but for all the plastic (boat, vinyl float bags, etc.) I think I'll take less time than I currently do.
