judging by how these look, I'd say you shouldnt have to worry for a while

That boat spent several of its first years in fresh water and the owner took real good care of it.

Yes the boat has been well taken care of...you know the history on it ?

I thought that I heard it was in the Miami boat show when
it was new.

There' one that looks just like it on the "jump" video.

There's evidence it spent a little time in salt water,
but nothing too bad.
