d gurgled happily, sounding much like they were
saying:

I imagine the chassis will need extra rust protection if it'll be
spending a lot of its life in water thought.

D'you know, I suspect that has crossed their minds...

Indeed. But when you said "I'd bet the chassis is bog-standard Volvo" it
apparently hadn't crossed yours. I'd give a bog standard one 3 months
tops before it rusts to bits.

Apart from it almost certainly being galvanised, I was referring to hull
sealing, with apertures for running gear being booted to prevent ingress,
and upgrades to the sealing on things like wheel bearings and electronic
connectors and components.
