winter here too in England i live on the south east coast only had my new boat six months pantera28 ft twin but i am not going to lay boat up plenty cold but bright days can still have some fun even with gas at $9 a gallon this is my first twin and when i first took it out i was sure i had a hole in the tank got through the fuel so fast. may the winter go fast and for all you boaters in the warm states dont rub it in too much regards paul from England

Wow 9 bucks a gal thats got to hurt to fill up

Well I would like to get in one they sound like a lot of fun.

If you ever get to the midwest (loto) be sure to let people know, cus there's always fun runs that are going on and they're a ton of fun with great people with the same feeling, just more relaxed and less boats.

I will do that told the wife I want to do at least one a yr The simple fun run would probably be more our style I just think it would be alot of fun to be around all the nice boats and good people

So what is this winterizing a boat all about, when I boat during the winter months I might have to put on a sweat shirt

Well if I was gona boat up here in the winter I would have to mount skates and a sail on it

Yes its painfull my pals have nick named the pantera (pain terra) because thats wot my face looks like when i pay for the fuel , last time i was in the states it was $2 a gallon it felt like they were giving the stuff away , just got back from a short blast in the boat sea was flat as a pancake cold but sunney only went out for a hour just to get my boating fix for the week regards paul

Snowing like crazy here ooooo its going to be a long winter

That's so wrong, we live at LOTO full time and I wouldn't move one mile further North.
