ccmtcanada Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Bly and I have been looking at boats to buy...and had a few questions regarding winterizing. 1) What do you have to do to the boat? 2) What prep work needs to be done to the motor? 3) How much would you approximate that it would all cost? Example....14 foot aluminum boat, with a 15 to 20 HP motor. Would store the motor inside during the winter. The boat would likely be stored outside somewhere. Thanks everyone....getting excited to buy one....have a few we are looking at now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinker Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Follow the links posted. After doing it a few times, you can have it done in a half hour. It might cost you $20 a season. Cheap and easy......... Sinker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
