That means your boat is just newer than 2 years old or just introduced to salt. Cause after 2 years dean....well...we all know that boat just turns to sh*t

I would consider buying a boat that came from a saltwater enviroment ( wait, I did ) but I sure wouldn't want to own one there. At the end of the day I'd rather go home and fire up the grillle and have a beer versus having to do all the flush, wash, lube stuff.

And some of us rather boat year round than winterize our boats....different strokes for different folks.

Boating on Christmas has been a tradition the last couple of years and it's oh so nice.

Someone (not on this thread) brought up to all of us freshwater snobs the fact that we are hypocrites in the sense that we turn our noses up to saltwater boats but yet our vehicles are salted-road vehicles. I thought to myself, good point!

I had my new F-350 undercoated here in Fl specifically because of the salt water left on the boat ramps. Some people here thought I was crazy until i asked them if they have seen a car/truck from up north that had been exposed to the Winter road salt....Not so crazy after all....

That is a good point... Never really though about that lol

Too logical for this crowd

My ten year old Avalanche was rusted badly enough that I had no choice but to sell it (while it was still worth something). Washing it about once a week is pretty good, just not feasible to wash a vehicle every day in winter. I buy new vehicles every few years now so I do not have to deal with problems like that. I am not seeing how that is hypocritical, this is reinforcement of what I have been saying in the first place.

Some more 6 year old saltwater engines, that I give the "Dean Ferry" massage to, every time we go out in her...

Seriously? Your comparison is boat/vehicle and want to talk logical. There's no debate our vehicles are exposed to salt but I guess I'm missing your point? My vehicles are necessary tools if you will. I have no choice but to drive them in the winter/salt. I'm well aware and can not debate the negative effects of salt roads, once again, transportation tool not a toy. People store their corvettes for the winter, same concept. My boat on the other hand, I choose where and when it runs. And I can say I've never chosen to run it down a snow/salt covered road. Furthermore, so your saying our vehicles are ruined by the salt, but your boats are immune? I'm jealous, you guys get the best of both worlds. Maybe I missed the point all together, but I can't justify that as an accurate comparison or consider that statement an example of hypocrisy
