These boats can break just sitting.

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.

pokey27 10-25-2010 09:42 AM

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

WTDecker 10-25-2010 10:44 AM

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:evilb:

pokey27 10-25-2010 10:49 AM

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