Fresh Water to Salt Water?

[superiorcarpentry01]

I own a 1962 36' Chris Craft Constellation (Wooden) and I live in Midland, Michigan (Fresh Water) and I am moving to Corpus Christi, Texas (Salt Water) What do I have to change or do to get my boat ready for salt water? I don't want to spend a fortune, I just want it to be safe in the salt water. <br /><br />

I don't know about chris crafts, but I believe you need a different type of sacrificial anode to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Salt water is much better for wooden boats than fresh water. Stray currents are more of a problem for the metal parts, however.
