Nice indeed. And free is always good!

Aren't you in Louisiana? Where do you run? Fresh water, salt, swamps, etc.?

I have no salt water experience. Is it troublesome for outboards?

If you want salt water sitting inside your motor,that's up to you.
You need to flush it after every run where a fresh water boat you flush after every season.

Says my 20 odd year old engine that's probably only ever seen salt water, and does just fine.

It takes more maintenance to run in salt,every mechanic on this planet will tell you this.
