Found a quick way to get leaves and junk out of the boat - Use your leaf vac!
Before I could put my cover on this year, the maple tree in my backyard dumped leaves everywhere and the pine tree next to the boat shed needles into it. Time to prep the boat for the year and first order of business is clean up the leaves. Pulled out the leaf vac and it did a great job of quickly getting all the leaves, needles, junk, old plastics, etc out of the boat in just a few minutes. I might change to this method for vaccuming the carpeting and cleaning up (usually I pay a kid $5 to clean it all up :D )

I do essentially the same thing but with a shop-vac. I usually blow everything loose to begin with and then switch the hose to the other side to suck up what has just gotten blown loose. And it's great for cleaning the carpet as well.
 
Or.....hitch it up with the cover off and go for a fast drive. My last boat always liked taking a drive around the neighborhood. :mrgreen:
