SEMIJim,
If you klike on the Great Lakes, you are far better off just looking at local boats than messing with something distant that's been in salt water. Boats in fresh water age much more slowly than boats in salt, I'd say 75% less, i.e. a 5 year old salt boat, all elese being equal, looks as worn as a 20 year old fresh water boat. Regardless of what the differential is, it exists and you should only look at fresh water boats, since you have that choice.
