I do think you need to take care of them. I also use [#ff0000]303[/#ff0000] by the gallons. Great stuff. I put it on my PONTOON about once a month. Keeps the cover soft and is one of the best UV protectors. I guess that is why neither my yellow or Alan's red boats have faded. I am now spraying it on my H3 although it is more a cloth. The spray will dry (you wipe it off after a few minutes).
We also leave our Pontoons inflated (a little less air however) all year long. This is the first year we have been deflating mine to put it in the back of the pick-up, which I am not crazy about, but mine fits due to the food pegs being in closer.
The Leigh had a car tire tube welded into the pontoon shape and we all know what happens to car tires after sitting long periods. I also think it is natural to take care of a more expensive craft. (much like sunglasses[laugh])
