Texoma has a large amount of natural salt. So much that it has some of the best Striper fishing in the Country, but not enough to corrode or start any bubbling. Most it will due is create a brown build up on the hull, which can be easily removed. Must be the Lime.

doesn't sound too bad -- 14 yrs is a long time -- here in the great lakes( fresh) after 14 yrs there'd be a certain amount also depending on how they were taken care of.

Your probably correct. I am not sure whats in the water that causes the corrosion, but something does slowly attack lower units in lake winni when left in all season. Most leave boats in all season here , I dont know anyone with a lift

I had a 28 Apache many years ago and it was the best ocean boat I ever owned. Price sounds too good to be true, I would buy in in a minute...
