I personally would stay away from saltwater if possible after seeing the inside of some engines. Even if you flush it religiously, when it comes time for taking stuff apart for maintenance there is a really good chance of breaking bolts, water covers, exhaust covers, head bolts, lower unit, etc. Don't ask me how I know this. It sounds like you are committed, so like others have said, due the extra flushing and maintenance every time and you can make it work.

Let us know your progress, upgrades and how everything goes. 

I wish you the best, and tight lines!

Thanks for the well wishes. Yeah, I'm just gonna give it my best go and see what happens. Like I said, it'll be a lesson learned either way. Tight lines to you as well!

When I'm in FL and fish the gulf I have a lake on the way home that I stop @, go down the ramp and start the motor.  That way the motor gets flushed and the trailer get the salt off.
