Default RE: freshwater boat used in saltwater for week trip

What material is the hull made of? Fiberglass or alum?



Mostly nothing special. Just wash it real good. Flush the motor and wash the trailer real good. Tell us about the trailer?



Alum, Galvanized steel or painted steel? Rectangle boxed tubing or C-channel?



Painted trailer don't do well at all around saltwater. Boxed tubing is the same way. It's strong as heck, but the trailer manufactures do not usually have a area that you can flush the inside of the tubing. It's a shame because a few 1in holes popped in the framer ail with a holesaw before it's galvanized would sure make a difference.
