Don't forget most snowmobiles have fiberglass cowlings on them, they take a
beating in very cold weather and the cowlings hold up great (as long as you
miss the trees).
I think the old story about the Corvettes getting bumped in cold weather and
the body turning to dust is one for Mythbusters.

Unless the hull has preexisting structural or design flaws you should
have no problem. Most materials get 'stronger' at lower temperatures.

The ski patrols of the world have been using fiberglass rescue
toboggans since the mid 60s without any noticable problems from the
(extreme) cold.

hey, it's about 30 degrees F. here, and pretty soon I'll hafve to move
my 17
ft. Fiberglass I/O to a new location. and by that time, it will be well
around
0 f.

When it's that cold, do I have a chance of temperature cracking or doing
other
damage to the hull? The boat is on an EZ-Load roller trailer, and I'll
be
moving it about 6 mi. over a horrible, but yet, not-so-smooth pavement.

If there is danger of stress, are there any precautions I can and should
take?
THANKS!
