Hi Everybody!
I am a newbie here and have a question. I will be relocating from Wisconsin to the Galveston Area in the Spring (Tiki Island), and I am wondering if it is worth it bring the boat with me to fish the West Bay and Tiki Island areas?
It's a 17 ft Alumacraft with a painted hull, but it is still aluminum! Its rigged with a 50HP oil injected Yamaha. Does anyone here have experience with that (Freshwater Aluminum boat in salt)? When I used to live in South Carolina, I would take my boat to fish the saltwater rivers and bays around Charleston, and I hosed it off intensely in Freshwater when I got back to the ranch. I only did that a handful of times and am wondering how many times I can do that before the boat and motor start showing/feeling the effects. I am trying to decide whether to give it a shot or try and sell it and buy something else when I get there.
Thanks ahead of time for your opinions!
Gary
