guys I am thinking of doing the unmentionable, converting my old 201 (1983) to a run in salt water. here is the back story. I own a place north of gulf shores, but I live in Indiana. I get to the gulf 3 weeks a year for now and would love to do some fishing in the bays. yes I could buy a boat for down south but it would sit quite a while between uses. so I have thought about converting the 201 for salt water use.
things to do:
different trailer- galvanized or aluminum (my trailers inc. needs some work anyways)
salt water trolling motor(not using m ultrex in salt)
start rewiring with tinned wiring as needed
switching the carpet to sea dek material

open to thoughts(remember this is a $3500 boat not a $15000 boat so not a lot of money involved)
