One of my fathers friends has a '94 (not sure of the brand at the moment but I hear it's a nice one?) bass boat I can pick up fairly cheap. My experience with "Freshwater Bass" style boats is very limited but I've heard people talking smack when they see one in the salt: "he's going to ruin that boat" & similar comments.
I won't be able to own one without at least hitting some of the inshore salty bass? I'm curious what kind of problems salt can cause to a bass boat or if this is even the case beyond regular wear caused by the brine.
I would also love to hear any first hand info on how these type boats handle in any kind of seas? I understand the shape & low waterline aren't ideal but just curious how dangerous such a boat is for moderate local runs the salt?
