Team,
I recently purchased a 2000 270 Sundancer. The boat is located on Lake Grapevine in Texas and is being shipped to Grand Lake, Oklahoma in the middle of next week. I am having it dropped off at the marina mechanic for some basic maintenance and it should be put back into the water on February 28 (ish). That basically puts me into the first week of March. The low has been hovering around 30-32 degrees here and should move completely out of any kind of freeze by mid March. I would sure like to save the expense of winterizing the boat for like 3 weeks until I start to use it, but want to play it safe. Anyone in the Oklahoma/Arkansas/Kansas area (Grand Lake is in the North-Eastern part of Oklahoma) think that I'd be safe not winterizing. The boat has a bilge heater which I plan on leaving on.
I welcome any thoughts.
Thank you
