Right now, I have mine up. My boat is ready to go to the lake at a moments notice whenever i have the urge. During the winter I keep the motor down to let the water drain out of it so it doesnt' freeze. It gets a little chilly here in western New York.
my is currently up as well and i can pull it out of my garage at a moments notice to go to the lake just like rick and lfk. for long term i have it down and stored in a heated stroage unit. it gets very cold here in Wisconsin..
