Jimmy boy... over the last two seasons I've used the boat 80 percent of the time in salt or brackish water.
I don't expect that to change much.
I have the wrong boat and have to figure how to get into a similar fiberglass version without draining my somewhat limited resources.



There are many aluminum boats that survive salt water use. The USCG uses

They just have to be designed properly using proper materials and
anti-corrosion precautions.
