Best of luck with the purchase Tim, this will be like riding a bike for you with the new"salt" options, as I know this isn't your 1st rodeo...more experiences, passions, & the best that Florida can offer is at your reach, you won't lose that speck itch though, but rather find more areas that need a scratch, which in the fishing world, is a good problem to have.... as far as maintenance, non-eth/ non-eth/ non-eth & she'll treat you right, now it's time to slime
