Default salt water use

It won't hurt it a bit. But wash the boat thoroughly after putting it
back on the trailer. If your trailer is the painted type, DO NOT immerse
the frame in the water. It will rust it out an a a few years.. Back down
only until the axels are about 1 inch above the water and launch from there.

Hello.

What would a week in salt water do to the bottome of a new fiberglass boat.
Mine is treated with paint and came from a marine owner. My friend's is
brand new, only fresh water usage with no protection.

Thanks,

Greg
