I have seen on only a couple of occasions with a boat used in salt water a lot that the aluminum pits pretty badly.
I looked at a boat today that I am considering buying, but I see it has this pitting issue. While the pits are small...they look deep , a couple dozen pin leaks in a hull seems it could become a hassle.
The boat is a 97, with a 90 HP Mariner 1997 on a decent galv. trlr.
he wants $3000..firm
I really like this boat, but the pitting has me concerned. I currently own a Grumman the same exact year but only a 17' that is spotless. Problem is that extra 2 feet in the Starcraft is what I really need in the salt water here in Long Island sound.
Anyone come across this pitting issue?? Is it a disaster in the making??
Thanks in advance
