    Winterized last weekend - my first time with this boat. I decided to pull the ballast bags out and store them in my basement for the winter. I recommend this, especially given what I found under the front bag. I'm thinking this might be its first time out of the boat.

    Winterized and fogged my Comp yesterday, we are getting below 5*C temps up here in southern Ontario!

    Pulled up the foot tray and noticed a wee bit of water in the hull. Looked at the rub rail, looks like the silicone has come apart from the rub rail when we supported the hull during the re-build. Luckily the foam is sealed and isn't absorbing any! Try and suck any extra up in the spring.

    Yeah, we love the Moomba and I don't regret the upgrade at all. We're taking it out today Weather *might* hit 61 today. While we're out there, it should be upper 50's and low 50's by the time we lose sunlight. Water temp should be about 55 or 56 degrees...

    Water temp was 48 degrees. Weather was sunny Friday and Saturday morning. Decided to drop the labrisa back in the water. No skiing but enjoyed the boat rides enough to make rewinterizing worth it. This morning I pulled it back out winterized it and shrink wrapped it. My season is now over. Water level is so low my boat ramp on my island was not long enough. getting it back out was a pita. Thank god for the winch on the jeep.

    Mrs Inair and I were out yesterday. It will have been the last time out this year. But wow! Oct 27 and temps at Westpoint lake int the high 80s. Water was quite cool but really great time.

    Winterized last night. Was hoping for one more surf night (water temps are still 54F) but have already moved on to fall activities.....

    Haven't got out this month but had a pretty good shot at a crew this weekend... But scheduled downpour all day Saturday and 20 MPH winds Sunday. I drained the block and manifolds a few weeks ago as we had a few nights skirting around freezing. Will probably run it to temp Sunday, clean it up, and do the winterization. Only 6 months or so until we start getting some nice warm days...

    Default Who is done for the season??

    Finished the winterization process today. Air 50' / Water 55'. Partial rain.
    Calling for snow in the smoky mountains on Sat.

    Hope to get some nicer weather on Sun and Mon.
    I just need to get my carpets dried out, conditioner on the vinyl, and the last wax of the season.

    I can start to think about spring once I complete a few snowboarding trips out west.

    Will not winterize as long as my seat covers are still looking like this. ..
