Launching tomorrow morning from boulder, staying in the lower basin. Going to Sandy Beach/Cove. We’ll be there with a couple 50’er Formulas. Mine will be the smallest at 30’. Lol

I have a houseboat trip planned for next month, the 5th-9th out of Callville. Having never been, what should we expect and where would be a good place to look for a cove for the week. Maybe the better question to ask is, where should we avoid!

Only going for a few days I would head toward Swallow/Gator. Great beach. This time of year it won't be crowded. You won't be burning a day in the houseboat going up the lake.

We will be up that weekend also.

Yesterday was awesome!
I have a new found appreciation for bass boats tho. A couple of the guys out yesterday have some fast boats! A couple gave me a run for my money! How is it that they are so low profile and cut thru chop so easy!

Seeing that we are gonna drop into the 20s this week do you guys winterize your boats? I’m gonna drain the water out of the block tonight. You guy throw anythin in the tank? Do I need to fill the gas tank then throw stabilizer in it?

Glad I saw this. I’m guessing the mechanic call out is going to be cheaper than a new motor...

up to you.
A few days ago, the forecast had a low of 24° on Friday night. Now that low is 30°. I bet by the time Friday comes, it’ll be over freezing. If not only because my cheap ass bought a heater today. lol

Cheap insurance.. Better safe than sorry. Although, what better way to talk the old lady into a 565 or 600sci....? Hmm..

Luckily it didn't freeze in those three years. I was just stating that the water doesn't just dry up if it sat for a few months or even years.

I would never talk anyone out of winterizing, but remember that the entire engine doesn't immediately end up below freezing when the air around drops below 32. All that other heat is still there temporarily. I guess my point is that the average temp kinda matters too. Not a one hour drop below freezing. 24 hours below, yes, but the rest of the day at 40 and 50 is also part of the equation.

Makes sense! First year with a boat and it’s stored in doors. And don’t know how cold the metal sotrage will get. When I was inside it last night it was warm inside. just rather play it safe. Guy that had it before me said he use to drain it.
