In a boat that size, my guess is you're going to be a lot more comfortable in the Delta as opposed to the bay. That coincidently solves your salt water worries.Wow, A huge thanks to everyone for the awesome feedback!
We are in Northern California so SF Bay, Delta and Santa Cruz will be our water. Only reason I am interested in trailering is
A) possibly increasing our scope of finding the boat we want and driving out and towing back.
B) Growing up on the water in this area I have seen what salt and brackish water does boats so we are interested in a marina with Dry Storage where I can pull her out and she can live in a parking lot until being used. However I too have had lots of fun nights on boats staying in harbor. Is there a way to help the outdrives survive better in salt? Maybe frequent paint and fresh zincs?
