where you located
btw the wind most always blows at the coast-- but the intracostal will be fine and the grass flats to fish -- just watch the bays for rough water-
i have a 16 ft and my brother has a 14ft and we fish the intracostal with out any problems -
Rich27028 said:im going to disagree with some of that - outboards on boats sit for weeks in salt water- some even longer - and dont rot away- - it is a good idea to flush the motor slows down salt buildup- lots of tin boats in salt water--
-
to op-- my brothers 14ft only has a 5 horse outboard on it - as long as you stay out of an outgoing rip in the inlets you will be fine --
my 16ft has a 30 yamaha--
And you find that the salt on the aluminum does not have an adverse effect on it as long as you hose it down I would assumeste6168 said:I run my 14' Lowe 100% of the time in salt. I too disagree with the statement that you have to flush every time, but I try to do it on a weekly basis or so. I use my Lowe 2-4 times a week (typically evenings after work) and my glass boat 1-2 times a week (typically weekends). My Lowe is strictly for ICW and river use, and the glass boat is for nearshore, cruising, and partying. Anything more than 15 miles offshore, I leave to friends boats and charters!
