Also, the description of being "fresh water" sets off all of my alarm
bells. To me that's like saying: "Don't even think of bringing this
boat near salt water because every piece of hardware will corrode and
fall off within a nanosecond".


There is a tiny possibillity that he left out one word and something
should have read " Fresh water cooled " That should be called glycol
cooled, but whatever. My fresh water boat is glycol cooled. My fresh
water boat has no corrosion whatever after thirty years. Aluminum
Starcraft cuddy. They still make the model. Maybe they just mean never
exposed to salt. That can't hurt.
