Wayne, you do have point.
Instead of taking a hit trading in a 2 year old boat, I already have the primer, official can of the factory paint and just picked up the Makita Gold impact bits rated as much stronger than the ordinary bits I broke last fall with my hand rachting screwdriver.
Maybe with my half inch corded drill/driver, I can get most of the snaps off without drilling out the ss screw heads.
Thenthe only worry might be what's going on in the bilge if sal****er gets in there.
I do stick the garden hose in and flush, and crank the tongue jack up to drain off.


Imagine how bad it would be if you used it more? I hope you spray the
whole boat with fresh eater after each run. I take my aluminum boat
into into the sal****er for bay fishing and I hose it down completely.
It does have anodes and is rated for sal****er use.
