ON the large lake style houseboats ; you know - the 70 footers and bigger --- how often do they have to change the boot or bellows or whatever it is they call that big hunk of rubber that separates the boat from the water ? I know these boats don't move from the docks very much and was wondering how it affects that vital piece of rubber . Do they give ya any warning before they start leaking and is total removal from the water the only way to replace them ? Kinda would worry about one sinking if they stay in the water for 4 or 5 years and get brittle . Any thoughts ????
