Seems so familiar…

Good to see you back around, Liquid!

Oh John, missed you buddy.

I’ve matured so much. Promise I’ll be tamer.

Plus I’m taking my meds… did I take my meds???

I don't think I've ever suspended anybody here, even when they decided to pot the jus while posting

Some advice would be great, i’m about to purchase a Cobalt R5 Surf 2021 model in Costa del Sol Spain, it would be for use on the Mediterranean up and down the coastline.

Can anyone advise how well they take to the ocean and if me and the family would be able to use the surf out there on calm days?

Thanks

2023 CS22. 3rd time out will be this weekend and I'm planning to take her from my Rack n Stack in Seattle through the locks into Puget Sound, and park at a marina for the weekend at a resort we are booked at. So I'm looking at 48 hours in the salt with my new boat. (Is 48 hours a long time to be exposed?)

As a new boater I'm still pretty nervous running in chop so I wouldn't be venturing into the Sound if the forecast wasn't looking near perfect; wind waves under 1 ft forecasted.

Regarding the Salt....Is it fair to say that if I go into the Sound once in awhile, with a nice bath afterwards it will be like I was never there? On top of the bath, it's a couple miles through the freshwater ship canal back to the marina, which I am guessing would give the engine enough time in the water to be "freshwater flushed"? (or do I still need to freshwater flush it when I get back to marina and she's on land?) How does that work? I think I have the "freshwater closed cooling system" in the Volvo v6 250 sx.

I realize if you are taking water over the bow that would introduce other problems to the boat, but for sake of this conversation let's assume thats not happening, and I'm giving her freshwater inside and out after exiting the salt? Thanks!
