To cold and far to run up by boat?

Can't get the boat to the ramp (Norwalk) to launch it LOL!!! Parts were supposed to be here yesterday but now it looks like the end of next week because shipping overnight or 2 day is too expensive because of the weight.

See ya'll next year

Re: Pumping Gas Tanks Dry

I used to leave mine full as that was the only thought of how leave your tanks. The last few years I've only had about a quarter in them. Not sure which way is correct or if it matters?

Some good discussion on this matter. The new reformulated gas is supposed to absorb water readily. Go empty and start fresh in the spring...
