When?

[Jlewis__1]

For you guys in CT or Western MA, what date do you generally take your boats out of Winter storage?

[Schultz]

Late March

[blkfalc4]

As soon as hard water is history

And after that, those freezing nights don't hurt your boat?

Just have to drain L/U, livewells and bilge. Been storing glass boats outside since '87. If you don't trust the livewell plumbing to drain completely, pour in a couple of cups of RV (non-toxic) antifreeze.

I fish my boat till the water turns hard and start again as soon as I can put her back in without breaking too much ice. My boat is stored outside and i have never had a problem I trim my motor down so all the water runs out and I added a T inline for the water pressure guage so it doesn't freeze. Been doing this for almost 30 yrs no problems.Charge the batteries every month and treat the fuel and good to go

Anything later than March 15th curses the entire season.
