Re: boating fever
it has been a long winter for sure. 2 years ago in my area was the same thing. a lot of times i'll get out late march and keep going from there. 2 years ago i tried that and then april was cold and miserable. the boat didn't get used for the whole month. this year is about like that. late march was respectable, yesterday it snowed again.
so lets hear how you guys deal with your boating fever
last fall i got a canoe. to me, it's been a saving grace already. i winterized Lime Time in late oct. but still got out several times after that since ya don't have to winterize a canoe. last outting was early dec. this spring we've been out 3 or 4 times since late march. same thing, in the canoe. while it's not speed boating, it's still on the water and both me and my 'ol lady are diggen it. me especially. i'm being lackidazical about getting the speed boat summerized. i can still get out, no freeze problems, no summerizations, no anything other than go out, come home and turn it upside down and i'm cool. so to speak...
for us, the canoe has already been a great idea..
side benifit is lack of fuel consumption too. use the small truck to transport the canoe, 1/2 the fuel useage to get to the lake. no fuel usage on the lake. so real cheap to do. much different type of boating compared to speed boating too. just another way to enjoy the water.
The south rocks!!
