Tom, I'm surprised at the conditions of some of these saltwater boats.  In
agreement that the boats that are in saltwater take a lot more abuse than
our freshwater boats.  I also think our shorter season has something to do
with the better condition of our boats.  If any of you coastal dwellers are
ever looking for a new used boat, consider a Great Lakes boat.  You can
even deliver the boat yourself through either the Erie Canal or
Illinois/Mississippi waterways.

Up here on Lake Superior, I can go 4-5 seasons without even thinking about
bottom paint.  And at haul out, what little growth I have can be wipe off
with a damp sponge.
