Thinking of purchasing a boat out of town that has been a saltwater boat for five or six years and I will be using it on a freshwater river. I spoke to few dealers in the area and they said to avoid saltwater boats period. They said the saltwater gets every where and will corrode the wiring and everything else.
The one dealer is very well known and trusted by a lot of people but I find it hard to believe that salt destroys boats to that extent.
The current owner has done more preventive maintenance on this boat then I have seen before and have all the service records.
The wife and I are your average joes and can keep up with standard maintenance and a few hiccups but I don't want to have lots of problems with a our new used boat. We are basically newbie’s to the boating world and just want to make sure it's right.
