How long can I leave my boat in??

You have asked the age-old question. Boaters want to wring out the very last drop of boating before storage, but, if you wait too long the weather could cause a problem. My solution, and this is not original with me, is to take your boat out late in the season on a very good day, do your winterizing, and any other waterfront associated activities (putting away dock equipment, etc.) in very good weather, and then have pleasant memories of your last boating experience of the season rather doing all this in the bitter cold or worse and having unpleasant memories during the winter. Personally, my boat is out, and on a nice day I really get withdrawal symptoms. Merry Christmas.
