Corrosion shouldn't be an issue if you wash and flush your boat after each use, I have a 15 ft Lake Charles special that I bought New in 1996 and all still works great, it's caught fish on both coasts and all around here with no issues just have to wash after use![emoji41]

Nice, Where did you end up buying it from? Those are nice.

tonyjohn 03-30-2017 11:57 PM

bought it from Sunrise marine center in Searcy Arkansas. Had a few hiccups along the way . all that said they tried to seduce me . I can elaborate further but i didnt budge . more in pm's if your interested. Only reason i didn't buy down your way because ive decided to keep my house here and its close to the dealership. You guys have brutal summers and if i keep my house here i can escape here and just crappie fish . ps, i have a 75 lb minkota hand steer salt water 24v and some kind of electronics for sale . ??? i think a helix 5 but was pizzed when i left . so now i own all of the above.
