still boat hunting: salt residue on hull?

Okay, so I looked at a late 80's Bayliner today. I'm in Southeast MI so I'm surrounded by tons of freshwater lakes. But I noticed this string of white stuff on the hull. The guy says the boat used to be in saltwater. Does this salt residue come off? It looks like unsanded drywall patches, albiet small ones.

Thanks in advance.

That's pretty well all the boats here sail in and I'm not sure what you're talking about. Most people who care for their boat will wash it off with fresh water on occasion. Don

Why buy a boat that has been kept in saltwater when you live in Michigan????

Exactly...I purposely drove inland and returned trailering a boat 1700 miles so I could get a freshwater cottage boat. The harsh ocean environment can be hard on older models. Don
