We are lucky to be in the water all year and still be able to go out. The nights get cool sometimes so we just add a heater in the cabin.
 
We are not expecting to catch any cows but hopefully a few “good eaters”. Mainly I need an excuse to keep the season going.
 
Winterized, on the trailer and barn stored. All usually complete by Nov, 1:smt009
 
The boat has been out since the 3rd week of September. I have cleaned and winterized and took to the dealer for storage yesterday. I went back later that afternoon because I thought I forgot to put drives down or something :( , and found it off my trailer and ready to go inside. It will be tucked away for 6 months. Its time to rake leaves I guess, yuck.
 
The boat is inside a heated building and clean as a whistle. Spent the w/e touring Michigan's shoreline in the TT with the top down. Colors this year are spectacular.
 
I filled the raw water side and the water system with Pink stuff yesterday. It took less time than I thought. Now after every weekend out or trip out I'll just pick up 8 gallons o' the pink (non-toxic)stuff and keep boating all year.
 
Quote from Beer Thirty "so what your saying is that your when your boats not in the water its on the trailer? :grin:"

You understood what I said correctly. :grin: I am in brown salt water, you would have to see it to understand, if you leave the boat in more than a weekend you really have a mess to clean up, it is bad enough just for the weekend. All I have to do is pull the cover, do precheck, hook up trailer to truck and back up about 60 feet, get in boat and back off trailer, tie to dock, pull truck back in yard and close gates. I did mention that I boat all year long didn't I? :lol:
 
Hello,
I am new to the forum.
These winter months I am going to trailer it and try use it at least once every three weeks. Being Arizona it shouldn't need to be Winterized. Does anyone from AZ have an opinion on this?
Thanks,
 
How cold does it get where you keep your boat?
