Just wondering how many people are using steel hull roamers out on the ocean. Just wondering about your experiences with fighting rust and anything in particular you had to modify or pay close attention to that you wouldn't have had to do if you were strictly in freshwater.

Did you convert your engines from raw water to a closed freshwater system? How often do you have to take the paint off and re-paint the bottom?

Thanks

.., but the US Navy does salt water everyday.
Some good technical info here - it can be done:
