Re: Winterizing Done. Post a pic of your boat all tucked it.

Well - I got the boat in the garage this year saving about $500 in storage. I'm loving it. I can still fit 1 car in. You can see in one of the pictures that I collapsed the trailer tongue and I have about 1/2 inch to spare!

Every time it snows, it's out to the backyard with a broom to sweep off the cover. If the snow is light and dry enough, my gas powered leaf blower works wonders. I wish she would fit in my garage.:( Well, at least she has a view of the river.

Here's mine all tucked in. The only difference is that the water flow will be from the heater and not the A/C.

Have I mentioned lately how nice Florida is? :D

My winterizing is exactly the same as my summerizing. Just toss a cheap cover on it and turn out the lights. :)

WOW love the '68 Chevelle in the garage....don't have a pic of what my boat looks like all wrapped up but here's what our harbor looks like in about one month...this is taken from our back porch... pic one is the frame I built to keep the canvas cover from caving in under the snow load....

I hate to say this but it was 78 today in SoCal. A bit windy so the cover was flapping up and down.:D

You are one lucky guy to live in such a beautiful place. :cool:

thanks, despite what people say about NY, it does have places that are very beautiful, from the mountains upstate to the beaches and Sound here in the Island...

Re: Winterizing Done. Post a pic of your boat all tucked it.

Live in Jax, Florida. Didn't winterize last year and boat was fine in the Spring. However did start up the boat a few times after cold spells. We have a cockpit cover on it. Doing the same thing this year. Started it up last Saturday and it ran fine (let it run to normal temp). After, filled the tank with gas and poured a bottle of StarTron in. Since it's pretty cold (early AM) again this week, will go over on Friday and start up again.
Here's a photo of it at Storage.
