I have alwise flushed it after each use in the salt ,it runs fine no smoke or water vapor coming out the exaust . Anyone have any ideas have looked on line and not found a lot.

It's pretty common, caused by the engines running too cold and getting condensation buildup from combustion. The cure is a thermostat that opens at a higher temp. Mine did the same thing, it too is around the same vintage.

Your thermostat could also be stuck open.
