The Miss Bud really isn't a good boat for your first one no matter what anyone will tell you at the hobby shop.
As for running in salt water, you have to rinse everything down including the cooling system after running with fresh water. A little shot of something like WD-40 up in there doesn't hurt either.
Thanks for the advice, but do you have a reason why? Have you owned one? What makes it a bad choice? What is a better boat at around the same price?
I have a product I use to rinse the salt water out of my jetski, I'll just use that stuff after every run.
