Salt questions
OK I am getting the new tow rig this week in anticipation of getting a SAN in the next few months. Now that my search is beginning in earnest I am looking for recommendations. The problem is that I live on a mildly brackish river. Most of my riding will take place upriver where salt will not be much of a concern. I will however be making some trips down the intercoastal in pretty salty water. I am meticulous with my toys so I will obviously be flushing regardless. I also know that many of the dangers of salt use are overhyped if the boat is well cared for (which mine will be). As I see it, my best option would be to get a zr6 (would also like the extra power). If I can't find a zr6 when the time comes, I would next opt for a coastal edition (maybe out of $ range since they are newer) or a boat w/ aftermarket closed cooling. My last option would be to go w/ the 343 and just be diligent about flushing. I am new to boat ownership but have been around boats for most of my life so I am not a total newbie. Am I missing anything here? Any other things I should consider? TIA and can't wait to join the family.

Sounds like you are right on track. -
just be prepared when you go to sell it. Say the word SALT and lots will bolt regardless of the condition.Comment

Yeah I'll worry about the resale down the road but I won't be buying under tight financial conditions so hopefully I won't have to rush to sell it at any point.Comment

Don't forget to get a galvanized or aluminum trailer. Even the "best" rinsing won't help with a steel trailer.Comment
