There are 580,000 boaters in Texas. Not a single one of those boats were winterized....... Since about 250,000 of those boats are I/Os and only about 50,000 are moored..... There are about 200,000 motors that have suffered a thermal declination related phase-shift inspired block busting event.

Be careful buying a used boat in texas....or any southern states this year that got freezing temperatures

Probably should have but I almost started a reminder thread saying something to the affect that I hope many people went out (or go out) and drained their engines and exhaust systems in those hard hit areas/states.:(

Is this the first possible reported 1 here? Cracked Block??? :(

Not just down south. There will be people stating "clean southern boat" in ads the northern states, after they are trailered north.😞

I was thinking the same thing, when the powers out and pipes are freezing in your walls, the boat might seem a lower priority!
