We are thinking about renting a house on a river with part salt/fresh water (I think the term is brackish??) for a week - there is no lift so boat and boat has no bottom paint. Does anyone know the effect that the water will have on our boat - 21 ft. Sea Ray if that matters...

Thanks,

Sue

One week should not hurt anything.Just give it a good washing when you pull it out.

No problem, especially if you use it often during the week.
The bottom will be dirty, you may need to pressure wash or do some scrubbing to get really clean again, but no big deal.

Shouldn't be a problem at all, but a good coat of wax will save some cleaning later.
