The guy I picked up some parts from a couple months ago had his Square parked at his parents house. The house is on a little outcropping of land overlooking the Long Island Sound. He said there had to have been water in his heater channels on the passenger side when he put it to bed for the winter. He said when he got to it in the spring, it had eaten clean through. He said he had never seen anything like it before. see my rust FAQ.
