If you used bottom paint that wouldn't happen... Or wouldn't happen as badly.

High pressure power washer will take care of most of it.

If you really wish to attempt to continue boating, I would think a boat hoist would be the route to go. Each time lifted, spray the bottom with a growth inhibitor. The point is it is like swimming. Just sticking your toes in, doesn't make for a fun day by the pool! (That is unless there is someone with you.) But you get my point...
