Sounds like a nice time of the year to be going. I've never been but friends who have gone there say it's a beautiful place.

Reading about yours and others tribulations with pulling the boat and storing her for the winter makes me glad I did not buy the larger boat I wanted. The 25 is nice and all I have to do in the fall is take her from my dock at the club to the clubs lift, about 100ft. Back the trailer up and with my son move the boat to the trailer using the lift. From there it goes to my home where the bottom is power washed, the oil changed and all the fresh water systems are drained, marine anti-freeze is put…
Reading about yours and others tribulations with pulling the boat and storing her for the winter makes me glad I did not buy the larger boat I wanted. The 25 is nice and all I have to do in the fall is take her from my dock at the club to the clubs lift, about 100ft. Back the trailer up and with my son move the boat to the trailer using the lift. From there it goes to my home where the bottom is power washed, the oil changed and all the fresh water systems are drained, marine anti-freeze is put in and then put her away in the barn until it starts to warm up in the spring. Since the barn has electricity I just plug the shore power in and leave the batteries in place. I have been doing it this way for 9 years on this boat and for close to 40 years on the collector autos and have no problems. You must have battery chargers that switch to a float mode when the battery is fully charged. Since you remove the battery(s) for the winter you might want to look at the low priced trickle chargers that keep a float charge on the battery. You can find these at places like Harbor Freight for less than $10 and I have seen them at farm stores for the same price. I am presently running 8 of them for the various car and RV batteries and most of the time I get close to 8 years of usage from my batteries. I have one in a 1998 Olds Aurora that I bought new and the original battery still starts the car. That is the best one I have ever had for life of the battery.<br />
<br />
Hope you have a Happy New Year,<br />

Going to sail her up..probably mid to end of May. Want a bit warmer and better daylight window. Will join Cottage Park YC and wait till my name comes up for Winthrop YC. Where did you keep your boat when you were up here?

Are you going to sail Twizzled up to Boston or have it trucked? It's a great trip I took on Harmony's maiden voyage from Westbrook. Mid-April wasn't the ideal time of year, but I had no other choice.

Yeah ..we have a boat yard down here that does stuff like that on a whim...I think its because the owner has been sniffing paint and solvents so long ...his mind is permanently jacked ....hes a nice guy some days ..other days ..katy bar the door ...if he didnt like MOST of us from the yacht club and give such great deals on yard fees ..we probably would bite the bullet and have to haul out near the Houston area or over in Lake Charles, LA. There just arent any other local options available in…

Just called marina....told the guy we're coming down for o/b & batts today (only about the 4th time i've said this..just in case!?) and since they yanked boat before haul date..I'll be needing hose run all the way to boat so it can be washed today and o/b run dry of gas. Woke up fired up! ##$%!! as my friend said..ought oh...slovakian gypsy blood boiling...
