Heard lots of conflicting reports...up here in Minnesota its pretty clear, when the water freezes you need to be out and winterized. In the spring when it thaws, well...you can put your boat back in now!!!
Our 410 has a very sturdy custom enclosure that will tolerate any weather. We do not have cockpit heat, but that could be remedied in short order. We are excited about cruising, but looking for input as to the reality of November - April boating in the Pacific Northwest!!!
- So what is fall/winter/early spring boating like? Are services available or do marinas close up and lock their diesel pumps, too?
- We plan to haul our boat October 15th and ship it to Seattle before weather gets bad through MT mountain passes. Should we go directly into the water, or should we pay for storage somewhere and launch in the spring?
