Hurricane Irene must have left a bad taste in a lot of boaters mouths. A lot of boats never went back in after being pulled. I know that we were never able to get a full weekend in. Saturday would be nice Sunday would be windy and overcast or vice versa.

I changed the oil in both motors last weekend. All that's left is to change fuel filters and run anitfreeze through. I change the fuel filters right before I run the antifreeze through. I pour a little outboard oil in the new filter and then run the engine, kind of self fogs the engine.

I had to work this week-end but will be on Lake St. Clair tomorrow. Temp is predicted to be 78*. That's why you don't winterize early. Only part time boaters boat from Memorial Day to Labor Day. I always get out once or twice in November.

I like to stretch my boating season as long as possible also, and will get out on a couple of warm days in Nov. But I have a heated garage to store it in so that helps.

I will drag the season out as long as I can. Usually will end in December.

Ran a great day today and actually left her at the marina. She'll stay ready to run until its absolutely necessary to winterize. Even next weekend here in CNY is supposed to be mid 60's...
