Tahoe Q7in salt water?

Has anyone here used their Tahoe in Saltwater? If so have you had any problems and how long have you been using it in the Ocean?

Flush the motor after use and go boating

Should be the same as any other boat in salt water. Do you plan on keeping it in the water or just day launching?

I plan on taking it out just for a day trip. do I have to flush it right when I get it home..say after a 3 hours drive or can it wait until the next day?

I would flush it as soon as posible. and rinse your trailer as well.

some boat ramps have water available

I'd find a spray and wash, to get the salt off the exterior/trailer before it dries, then flush it when I got home. My boat is 99.9% in fresh water, but the first time I ever launched her was off the Chesapeake Bay in brine water. It stayed in there for a week, and when I pulled it to come home I had access to fresh water so I washed / flushed it.

I'll be back there again this year doing the same.
