And while all that's being posted. Different opinions etc. Salt VS. fresh. NO DIFFERENCE. The difference is in care. Does salt water needs more care? Yes. Does Fresh water owners/marinas lack in care? Yes. Salt or fresh. Get to know the owner and the boats history. There can be lemons in both areas and jems as well.

this question is a no brainer, sorry guys. salt causes corrosion, take a look at Michigan cars. i'll take a texas car that wasn't in the salt anyday.

lol.. If that's your way of maintenance buddy... I would never by a FW boat from you. And like some said,, you have no clue.
I been in FW and SW. Both needs appropriate care. Once a year of washing the bilge in FW is not it. The biggest problem in FW boats that owners don't think what needs to be done. Thus the problems. Not tor mention the negative issues with frost. etc. I know many of marinas and owners in W and the winterization is not adequate. PERIOD. |

I've been boating in salt water for 40 years and yes, it's harder on a boat without question. Good maintenance can go a long way but things do have to get replaced once in a while. The newer closed cooling systems are really nice for this environment. However I wouldn't trade my salt water boating environment for any other in the world, I don't give a frick what I have to replace.
|
It's always a sensitive subject bc every salt owner thinks their boat is the exception, that's natural... but salt is a corrosive thing, there isn't any getting away from it. Freeze/thaw shouldn't be an issue with proper maintenance and granted you don't have a wet transom (then you have bigger issues to worry about).
Bottom line is that you have a much better chance at finding a solid boat that has avoided the salt. |
