Bottom line:
1. Get the 1850
2. Get a trailer
3. Store out of the water
a. rack system at marina
b. trailer w/ good cover
c. trailer in a garage
4. Flush the engine after each use and wash it down good to help prevent
corrosion.

And let's add No. 5.....

Please, please, take a boating safety and familiarization course, either
from the CG or some local source.
