Zebra mussels

OK, our lake is now infested with these guys. We keep our tritoon at the marina, in water, but the motor is trimmed up and outif the water. I am considering buying a lift, but until then, I have some questions.
Has anyone sustained any real damage to their toons by these guys? During the summer, I can get in the water and clean off whatever exterior areas they are trying to latch onto. My biggest concern is that there are small water weep holes in some of the triangular toon bracing, and I found a few around the entrance. Not being able to clean that out, I am concerned that their weight could get substantial. Maybe not, since the bracing is only a couple inches. Still, a long brace equals lots of room.....
So has anyone really been affected substantially by these buggers? Thanks.
