My neighbor in Havasu reminds me weekly how big of a Looser I am for still living here through the winters, That dam job thing keeps getting in the way! WTF.

I did the same thing this year as I normally do...

I took my boat off my lift, put it on the trailer, delivered it to Performance Boat Center, had them winterize it, and then they put it in their heated indoor storage building til spring. In the big picture, it's cheap insurance that I won't have any problems in the spring.

My Mechanic pulled my motors out on Friday. I'm going to check with him and see what he finds during the dismantle process. Coming apart this week.

If some of you all decide to winterise with green antifreeze next year, just remember that if your pets ingest any of it they will most likely die. Next year most likey will not be as cold, this is a freak year.

Those using the pink stuff, I assume you are using -50. How many use the -100 pink antifreeze, I switched a couples years back. Glad mines inside a heated building, think it's better for the boat all around.
