[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 366237, member: 13599"] I used my '59 Crestliner for 3 years in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and 3 years in San Juan, Puerto Rico. all saltwater, BUT, I never left it "in" the water more than a few days at a time. always on a trailer. and washed it well after bringing it home. I think that many many layers of paint saved it from any serious corrosion issues. You will see some tinnys so eat up with salt that even the scrap dealer will shake his head. Then, others seem to be pristine. so the secret must be to remove the salt BEFORE it does damage. the secret is is to WASH WASH WASH it when you are done for the day. flush the motor good. no problems.
