Boating in October

Rattlesnake Guy · 10-14-2007, 10:25 PM

Anybody know where I can bring my boat "in the water" for winterizing as late as Thanksgiving? I normally trailer, but am interested in extending the season without risking a frozen block on the trailer. I would drop the trailer off at the same time as to boat. Any references would be very much appreciated for my 4winns.

Try Fays, provided the ice has not started to form at their Marina.

Also, try a mobile marine business and meet them at Glendale.

Independent Marine - 476-5580 - is land-based in Moultonboro and will pick up your boat antwhere. I usually drop mine off at Lees Mills but you could have ice there by then. I would give them a call to see what they suggest. They are very flexible.

With the way the past winters have been, you could probably wait until New Years. Although, I probably wouldn't

I remember one guy out in his boat last CHRISTMAS DAY!

The Winnilakers crowd took a ride from Glendale to the Weirs dock day before New Year!. They had to stop at Crazy Gringos to warm up. They would have gone out the next day but the stickers are expired.

I have that same issue occasionally when sitting on my couch!

I keep feeling that I want to have Thanksgiving at the cottage just once and have my boat in the water for a cruise. Someday, but not this year, too much going on, and I will be closing the cottage next week. Perhaps one maybe two more boat rides.

Hope everybody has a safe winter.
