[QUOTE="DaleH, post: 469695, member: 15636"] Have had boats in saltwater going on ~50-years now, maybe 45 of those years for boats I've owned. Many have been tins, as even if I have a big FRP offshore boat, I keep a tin skiff at the Club dock 24/7 from APR through OCT; in fact I just pulled them last weekend for the season. I never had any issues with a tin boat in the salt, but I do take care to use good tin-safe antifouling paint on the bottom, over a properly prepped AND primed hull. Many years ago I started adding a zinc anode to the hull (on a bare section) and that helps immensely too! Lookie here: https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=39331&p=400146 [/QUOTE]
