Looking at a deckboat for large freshwater lake cruising (stopping at sand bars, off boat swimming, etc). We think we want a 22 foot boat that includes a fresh water shower for knocking off sand as well as convenience of hand washing.
One dealer (that has only the 20 foot boat which can not have a fresh water stern shower option) vows that most of the owners never use their water system because it is too much bother and is expensive because it has to be chlorinated and then winterized.
Do they have to be chlorinated and are they really not worth the bother for all day cruising??
He stated the water supply is never drinkable and should not be in contact with skin?? We weren't planning on drinking it, but the no skin contact??
Is it only worth while for salt water cruising??
