Not your pal and I'm not the blind one.

And an unworthy response to your edited post...never researched it and do not care to own a wet structure boat anyway. And still not your pal.

Don't give a sh!t what you are...I know one thing!!! Wrong!!! BAHAHAHA

Uncle, you beat me down with jubilant stupidity and ignorance.

here is a map of the salinity of the oceans.... blue is least ..red/yellow bad

Perfect!!! Stop using the word exuberant sound like a tool. Bahahaha

i used to wash my boat in the Spring and give it a good wash in the fall when i lived up in Michigan.

I spent the last 25 years making my living with boats in Florida.. You wash them every night when you get home. or they are filthy the next day because of the salt residue.

Regardless.

We never flushed the motors.because after 10 years we never noticed any difference if they were flushed or not.


The risiers are shot after 2 years the manifolds after 4 . After 4 years the blocks are on the edge. If you use them every day than you will fare better.

Its not necessarily the blocks over all that go bad it is the mating surfaces such as the intakes and the heads.

I have removed raw water cooled 454- 330s with 4000 hours that ran like a Swiss watch after 4 years The mating surfaces were shot..

25 years making a living with this crap I have seen it all.

I was talking with a buddy yesterday (former owner of 2 Powerplays as well other offshore stuff) and he still lives on the water and has an empty lift. He said for all the hassle of his last 38, he is ready for another go fast but this time it has to be outboards and he loves the new 320 Monte Carlo from Nortech (someone in the area has one on a lift).

You can't beat long warranties and limited problems of OB's!

The Monte Carlo and the new AT's are showing there can be a sport boat market with great speed and OB's.

Hope to get a AT 29 in the somewhat near future

Same here, getting too old to crawl around in the bilge. Next one is an outboard boat as much as it kills me, getting older just solves that dilemma though.
