Fresh water premium

Hi All,
I've been reading Forums for about a year and have a question I hope you can help with.

We are in the market for boat. I have waited until the end of the season to get as much of a discount as I can. It seems there are few to be had unless I buy new (not such a deal) or buy a boat that has been used in the ocean.

I have heard "RUN away as fast as you can" from some and I have heard from folks that have been using an ocean/saltwater boat on the lake for years without incident.

So my question is about the discount I should expect for a saltwater boat. or if you want to look at it from the other standpoint, how much of a premium should I expect to pay for a freshwater boat?

Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this.
