I actually used a dock to dock, so to speak. My current slip is in a corner of two docks, put the bow gently against the corner of the dock, throw the wheel over and scoot the stern over. You would never do that with a painted boat!
Topside pressure washing and some cosmetics, although it is never going to be shiny, I want it to look cared for, which it will be. New bedding, LED lights, better dinghy, wash the lines, new fenders...........
