Thanks much for the advice. Seems like a boat/trailer built for sal****er is
the best answer. Of course, I should keep my current boat for freshwater
use. That's too cool!!
Now I've gotta' convince the wife that I need TWO boats for fishing in
Florida.
I'm working on it.
Thanks again.



Hi Eric and the group, something I forgot to mention provided you are
only going to have one boat is the resale on the Nitro will be much
higher if you sell or trade it before it sees any sal****er use.

As soon as a boat hits the sal****er the value drops a lot.

Perhaps the best thing to do is buy a used salt water boat; however,
you have to be very careful. The advantages of buying a used salt
water boat is it has already taking the big loss in value. Besides who
wants to put a nice new boat into salt water. The disavantage would be
getting a boat with a lot of problems. If you decide to go the used
route have a good mechanic with salt water experience check the boat
out for you. I'm thinking a used boat from about 2 to 4 years old in
good shape (find one that was used off of a trailer and washed down
instead of one that stayed in the water) would be an excellent value.

I hope this helps, Dale
