Well, it was fresh with just a hint or whatever the trim tab hydraulics use. Yummee!

I imagine that by now you have developed an impressively comprehensive list of reasons for not buying a boat. ?
You must share it with us sometime!

Enjoy your day out by the seaside!
If it's the one I think it is, it looks reasonably tidy and practical.
It's a pity about the mainsheet in the companionway, and I couldn't work out where the loo was. (Under one of the berths, presumably? - How acceptable is lack of a separate compartment in practice?)
I shan't mention the narrow side decks.

To add to the ideas.. Would adding a drop of acid to the water produce a bit of fizz if salt, but nothing if fresh? Not tried it, but just wondering.

No, it wouldn't. That tests for carbonates, which are present in seawater but at much lower concentration than chlorides.

The Brio has 1.5 mt 'below' and I think the bog is under the double forward berth (looking at the specs) with a bit of ply covering it; Again, bit like the Kelt, just a bit longer
Also, no mention of fixed donk, So an O/B off the transom.
Think you need to look at a bit longer, 26ft? To get the headroom and separate bog.
The Trapper I spent some time sorting has all the things you would like, even a shower. Not so many about.

And if it does, you won't need to worry whether it's fresh or salty.

Oh well, my Chemistry took a dive when I couldn't get on with the teacher, so quit the class and self taught Tech and Geometric drawing' to 'A' level and passed!

Use your multimeter with probes a fixed distance apart. First calibrate in known fresh and known salt.
“Electrical conductivity is measured in microsiemens per centimeter (uS/cm). Freshwater is usually between 0 and 1,500 uS/cm and typical sea water has a conductivity value of about 50,000 uS/cm”
