So whats the deal with you Northern folks.

Do you pull your boats to keep the ice from crunching them, or it it
just so cold that you never take them anywhere?

What about the folks who live aboard. What do they do? Move ashore.
Do the steel hulls stay in the water? Unafraid of the ice.

Must suck to only be able to use your boat half the year.
Make your boat worth half as much huh?

Joe

Twice as much, actually. Fresh water boats do sell for more, for obvious
reasons, not sure how much more, I have a number like 5% in my head. Most
places around here require you to haul your boat, my marina was around the
end of October, at the marinas behind my house sometime in early November.

They've been living here for a few years, the water doesn't freeze, probably
due to the current. All the comforts of home but this guy told me he had a
wife and two kids, can't imagine living aboard a boat that small with that
many people, even if they were related.
