Salt Water Boats

[GLF]

Would you buy a boat that has been in salt water? Why would you, or wouldn't you buy it?

[CaptLevi]

No. Not unless the price reflected it. Salt water is hard on boats.

No, I wouldn't buy a Salty. There are too many fresh water boats for sale in our area. I am running a 20 yo SC Islander that I bought last yr. The boat was used on the GLs and only needed a few mechanical things and some cosmetic work. I do my own mechanic work (if at all possible). Too many Saltys don't get rinsed after every use, and if they are slipped, forget it. I would much rather spend a few $$$$ more on a fresh water boat.
