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.

The only way my boat ever gets rinsed in fresh water is if it rains.
The idea that aluminum boats are not suitable for salt water is
ludicrous

Some aluminum boats are better than others. Depends a lot on the
aluminum alloy.
