I have boated in the winter before, do you know how hard it is to pull boat up launch ramp with snow on it???
For now, I am done with the cold boating. Water needs to be 70 plus degs, preferably 80.....

Ready for summer already!!

For comparison ric, here's what it looked like 1500 miles north of you last night. As you can see, your burger would have froze to the bbq, and there wasn't a boat on the lake.... even though the water was dead calm!

Ah, I remember those days. I used to live in Bangor, Maine. Studded snow tires, sand in the trunk, and still get stuck!

Off course winter boating is great.

I will spend Saturday night on Biscayne Bay. The temp is going down to 62 degrees. I might need to bring a sweatshirt.

To eck with boating in winter...I'm hoping to boat in spring with last years drought from hell...looking up. We had 6 inches of rain in couple hours last week. Made up for a little lost ground at the lakes.
