Should you buy a used boat that's been used in salt water?One of the first things to consider when shopping for used boats is whether the boat was kept in freshwater or salt. The correct answer from the selling party is that it was ALWAYS used and docked in fresh water.Salt water on a boat is parasite – it eats away at everything over time. The engine, the hull, the chrome in your cockpit, and the electronics are all affected by the sea and its spray, and even the air if a boat is used regularly in salt water. Knowing that the seller of the boat you are buying also knows this fact, can you be sure that they are telling you the truth about where the boat was used and stored? If they were not the original owners, can you be sure the previous owners were as trustworthy as these fine folks that are currently trying to sell their boat to you? Now that we've scared you...We hope you are prepared to ask tough questions when buying a boat, and that you'll work with a professional surveyor before you buy. Are you ready to start looking for the boat of your dreams? Browse our boats for auction.Good luck! |
