Last year purchased lightly used WM inflatable and after last year of being tied up to the dinghy dock bottom incrusted with barnacles. At end of season rolled up and stored in garage. Rotting fish smell has abated but eventually will need to clean;) Any tips on inflatable barnacle removal using ordinary household cleaning products and hoses? Googled other cruising forums that vinegar and soap works. Anyone with direct experience on the matter?

All the reading that I have done on the subject (thoughts of dragging the dink on a long trip behind JD) seem to indicate that Vinegar is the best/least expensive/least environmentally damaging product.

Any chance you can provide before and after pics?
