What is " a logo" referring too ??

:lolhit:

If you could narrow down the location some from, let's say International Falls, MN to Panama City, FL may also help just a hair-ball. :noevil:

I am guessing LOTO...I would wait a few more weeks. It would take a few good nights of 18 degrees or more to actually freeze a block though...

24* for 24 hrs may cause probs.

I used to be in the water end of March in S. WI. and many times early April. Would come back snowmobiling up North and next weekend be boating !!

The Loto gang will chime in, prob 2nd-3rd week of March down there.

You should be plenty safe on April 1.

In 2006 I launched Easter Weekend which I beleive was the first weekend in April. Temps got into the teens three nights in a row but I did the dixie cup of water on the swim platform test and it never froze. The roof on your dock helps to trap the water heat and within 6' of the water the air is substantially warmer as a result.

This winter was quite warm so you are probably ok now. I boated Feb 1 and Feb 2 this year - beautiful days. Water temps were showing in the 40s then. With the water as warm as it is I don't think any lift kept boats will have any problems. But just watch the weather patterns.
