Welcome to Iboats,

If wanting to have boating fun pick a larger HP motor, a 15 is very basic to power whichever boat you choose to go fishing with.

Happy Boating

All the newer motors work great in saltwater...its what maintenance that occurs when its removed. They (motors) all require extra attention from salt use so be diligent on flushing cooling system ,greasing fittings and use salt inhibitors in spray or wipe on applicators'
