Hmmm.....could be. The water is about that color!

I have a ton of the temp construction lighting. Maybe I will try and get one in there before tomorrow's snow....

You probably have it to well covered, believe it or not. You would be surprised how proper ventilation would cut down water getting trapped. As the air expands and contracts it pulls in water vapor and, if not vented properly, the water will be left behind in condensation. I learned this through many hours of back country winter hiking and climbing. Early on i would try and seal up my tent very well and i noticed it actually snow inside sometimes. When i learned how to properly set up and use a fly probblem sovled and i would wake up nice and warm and dry lol. I doubt a boat is any different other then the process takes longer with more gradual temp changes. Take a look at professionally done shrink wrap jobs for tips on how best to vent the cover. Blue plastic tarps are the worst for trapping moisture

Snowed inside the tent Dave? You may have breathed in too many resin fumes today - walk outside and get some fresh air! LOL Hope all is well with you buddy.

I bought a dehumidifier from Big Lots for 100 that I have used for 10yrs now. The humidity is heavy were I live so I find it helps keep the boat dry when stored for long periods of time. I also put it in during the winter. It generates heat so it keeps me from having to worry about freezing during out mild winter freezes. I hooked the tank up to a hose so it can drain out of the bilge. If you do this be careful not to get carried away, I've heard of others drying out their interior to the point of it cracking.

yeah those dehumidifiers can work too well. I dried out one cabin to the point the carpet felt like an sos pad! oops!

Lol yes it actually does (in a sense) my first couple times out in temps approaching zero and below I woke up with a pretty good layer on everything iw was puzzeling to me at the time because i had everything sealed tight. You could actually see it forming out of condensation in the air. Did some research on moisture management and found I had my tent to well sealed, worked on proper ventilation and problem solved. I think I have pics on one of my computers.

Hope all is well with you to my friend, going pretty good up here. Lots of winter projects

also keep in mind that just because you have the cockpit and all covered water can and will come in through cleats in the front and of course the boat being a giant funnel will sit in the bilge.

I used a halgen work light in the bilge instead of winterizing. Just make sure the power stays on. It stayed 80 degrees in there. As long as inside the boat is warmer than outside, condesation cant form. Same idea as a gun safe dehumidifyer.

I think I would be afraid to use a halogen light. They get really really hot! I just want to keep it dry, not burn it down!
