Kelphead,
You mentioned something that made me wonder: will it take longer to be covered than a smaller vessel would?
I think not. Organisms don't stand in line and wait for the first to settle and then take their turn. They'll settle, as they arrive, and I think per square foot, it will be more or less the same, small or large boat. Unless, as you mention, there is a different micro biosphere around a large object, creating different currents and 'climate'.
Anyway, I think it is about time to pay her a visit soon.
