    Re: salt water concerns?

    salt air will infiltrate and corrode wiring ect.

    Was the boat lift kept over SW, or rack/inside stored?

    The FW cooling side should still have been flushed after use, is it your impression that it was cared for well?

    Is the $ right?

    As with anything else, how it was maintained is key. If flushed and washed with a product like salt a way after ea use and kept on a trailer or rack, it should be ok

    It all depends on how the owner took care of it. I'd have a member take a look at it.
