Supposed to get down to the mid 20's tomorrow night (74 as I write this) - had to winterize the Supra tonight.
(maybe not for the last time!)
Was at Lake Powell last week - water in the mid 70's ... was a blast.
This time of year is depressing.

We should start a "support" thread for people like Todd and Kevin up in Stevens Point.

Hi, I'm jeff... And I have been winterizing boats all week. It has become more than a once a year thing for me. Just wasn't enough. I now winterize boats for other people. Kinda like a winterization mercenary. I do people's dirty work for a nominal fee. Lol
Sometime this week I will put together a how to for a comp. complete with crappy pics. all other classic supras should be the same.
I don't need a support thread.... yet. My water temp has actually gone UP! Was 56 last week and now it's 62. Wahoooo!

Winterizing my comp is down to a science...takes me about an hour from the time I start pulling fluids until I have the new oil and trans fluid in and circulated, motor fogged and block drained. Helps when you have a wife that is not afraid to get dirty and knows her way around the engine too!
Wotan, there is a place just south of here where you can ride well into October and sometimes into November I think. Water temp stays warm due to it being a cooling "pond" for the power plant there. The water is too warm during the summer but early spring and late fall it is about perfect from what I hear.

Yes it is Clinton Lake (Clinton, IL) Power Station lake. only thing you got to watch is the close the hot water output area to boat traffic durring the winter. I do not know when they close it but they open it back up i think April 1st.
Clintons warm side is open from April 1 till October 15. Who can expect 80 plus water now . The water will get over 100 degrees on the warm side in the summer. It has a very good state park with camping and a good ramp. I don't want to brag but Lanier water is still about 80 and the air temp will be in the mid 80s this weekend.
Hi, im Mike. I haven't winterized yet, but i think about it all day long.... I told my GF that we cant hang out this weekend cuz ill be busy winterizing.
