seaford va?? when your chit in in the salt 24/7 and your sun is shining 80% of the time and your temps are above 36*F come and start a argument until then BACK OFF....Dont know the true story myself but they were seized,,weather the boat had high waves splash the back of the boat or what ever happened they were seized from salt water wash,,hell when i brought my boat back up from Florida and the boat sat for a month and the port motor was rebuilt it seized from the salt water ,,only takes a little bit of salt and heat and the salt starts sweating and it multiply and before you know it everything is all rusty...even after winter in my shop from the salt they use on the streets some of my equipment gets rusty from the salt so dont tell me its no big deal when it is.....

I better go rush out and get my trailer and get my boat out of the nasty salt water and run it back up North so it won't RUST.

Most people that bad mouth salt usually for whatever reason can't live or boat down in Florida, so if you can't enjoy it, BASH it, smart azz done, have a good day.

I used my boat in Georgia for 3 years (fresh water) then came to South Florida. Salt requires slightly more maintenance and preservation. But, if you occasionally treat metal and maintain your engines you are OK. I stack my boat 60 feet from the intracoastal and run every 2-3 weeks... Never flush, however the guys spray my boat down. I have close cooled 496's and the only thing that happened once is the salt coagulated in one of my exhaust runners and I flushed it out. I also didnt use my boat for 7-8 months while stacked after my son was born. After that long period, I called, put the boat in, stated it and drove off. Ran the hell out of it.

The only thing I dont like is that it dulls the finish of my out drives. That cleans up OK but not like in fresh water. I also spray the engines every few months with the aerospace water inhibitor stuff.

Saltwater eats my XR gears though... It seems to weaken them. (Thats a joke)

God damn big time - I wasn't calling you a liar, just saying there was more to the story. Relax.

That being said you should get a map - it gets warm here and the Atlantic Ocean is rather salty. If people leave boats in all the time than certainly that will take its toll but responsible salt water use is no issue.

I'd never boat in salt water. Chit is like acid! I put the boat in once and it dissolved.
