Buying a Fresh water yacht over a Salt water yacht

In Oregon we sell yachts and boats that are moored in Freshwater.

Fresh water is so much better than salt water for boats.

Here are some things to be aware when purchasing a boat or yacht in Salt water.

• Saltwater is more corrosive than freshwater. Unless well-maintained, saltwater boats may have:

  • Engine corrosion

  • Electrical issues

  • Hull or fittings damage

• Always inspect for proper maintenance: regular engine flushing, anti-corrosion treatments, etc.
