Slipping in salt water

If you must have a choice between the two go with the 280da. Also full FWC is a must for one kept in the water full time. From my personal experience I strongly recommend an inboard powered boat if kept in the water for any length of time. Stern drive cost big money to maintain correctly. My boat get hauled out every 2 1/2 years for maintenance. Other than that the bottom gets cleaned by the diver every month. That's it.

Have to agree with Kevin here. We flush our inboards and the genny with SaltAway after each use We only have her hauled about every two years plus for bottom paint and have a diver clean each month too. Did I imagine it but are the bellows on I/O 's something one has to keep a good eye on in salt too.......I may be wrong.
