Hello all,
I am considering buying a 2000 21V. Here is my dilemma. I live in Southern California, 15mins away from the beach. I grew up with an I/O boat and we took it in the saltwater once or twice a summer. Always rinsed engine, thoroughly cleaned boat after use.
Would it be detrimental to use this boat in the ocean a couple times a year in the summer? I would definitely mostly be using it at lakes and in freshwater. But it’s hard to have a large body of water so close to me and feel as if I can never use the boat there. And would it be helpful/necessary to add a closed cooling system?
Any advice is appreciated
