I live in Northern RI, and my 88 'Kota was undercoated at the dealer when
new and still shows no signs of rot underneath. i try to rinse out the
undercarriage at least a couple times each winter, though my father
neglected to do this for it's first 8 years. That is why i frimly believe
in undercoating.

Welcome aboard Matt and congrats on your purchase. Even though it's a
sixer I think you'll be pleased with your Kota :-)
I don't have any hard and fast documentation to go by, so this is sheer
opinion/speculation, but I've been told so many times that undercoating is
a waste of money *and* is sometimes counterproductive (I.E. things rot
faster) that I don't even consider it. I've never had an undercoating put
on any of my vehicles and I've never had a problem with things rotting out
underneath... What I have done is made sure I spray out the undercarriage
after I've been 4wheelin' or driven into the ocean... That's not a typo, I
was having some fun on the beach with my old jeep when I caught some deep
water that pulled me in... still don't know how I got out but I bet those
Cali boys & girls have never surfed in a Jeep :-)
Anyway, nice to hear from someone else from the Boston area.
