I live in Maryland and have had my boats in the Chesapeake hundreds of time, both glass and aluminum. You will be fine. Do you think that the owners of the thousands of boats that hit the bay every week go overboard on the maintenance every time they use their boats? Not to mention the millions of boats up and down both coasts and all around the world. Brackish water will not destroy your boat. At the end of the trip give your boat a thorough cleaning, flush the engine and rinse the trailer.
I to fish the Upper bay where the water is brackish and never once had an issue with boat or motor. I run an aluminum boat with a 150 Mercury Opti with a 9.9 pro kicker. Just flush out the engine and wipe down the boat. As Peltz stated there are thousands of boat owners that run their boat w/o issues on the bay and the ocean . I wouldn't think twice about bringing your own boat down. Plus you know your boat, how it handles and you have it rigged for you. Not sure what kind of rental you would find. I'm sure you know big water, just keep a close eye out on the bay the weather changes QUICKLY and gets real snotty real quick.
