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
them.

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

Sure. If Donny wants to stick with aluminum, he needs to do some
research, focusing on salt water usage, care, and precautions.

Corrosion protection and prevention is a matter that needs attention on
ANY boat.


Yup. Fiberglass isn't exactly maintenance free and has it's own group
of problems.
