I know people who use a bilge heater to protect the engine, this makes it
very easy to winterize the boat, just drain the fresh water lines and fill
them up with pink stuff.

I have always shied away from it because as soon as there was a hard freeze
I am sure the marina would have a power failure. ; )

The winter is a great time to boat, but I would find a 29' to be cramped for
long term living.

JiminFl,
Harry has a 25' Parker, he likes to talk about his custom built Lobster
boat, but that is a fiction of a vivid mind. Harry is always willing to
send photos, proof of bill of sale and offer to have to take people
fishing
on his Parker. No one has ever seen the Lobster Boat, except someone
who
was posting using Harry's IP. Someone made a $10,000 bet to prove
ownership
of the Lobster Boat, someone offered to make a $1000 contribution to the
Salvation Army if Harry showed proof of ownership of the Lobster Boat.
Harry cowered away from both of these offers.

That aside, the odds are that Harry does own a Parker, he just never uses
it.
Yesterday, I had a great day on the boat. Picked up some chicken, slaw
and
potato salad and headed up to the lake. Did a little work on the boat,
draining the fresh water lines and filling the lines with Pink Stuff. I
then headed out for a beautiful day on the lake. Read a book, eat some
lunch and got some sun. I have always though fall is the best time of
the
year. It is very quiet on the lake and it is more comfortable than the
summer. I am still approximately 30 days from Winterizing the engine.
If
there is a unexpected freeze, I can winterize the engine in less than 2
hrs.

Why don't you guys meet on some neutral turf and duke it out for
bragging
rights since it appears that neither one of you have boats.

Challenged, he seems unable to stand tall.

You still are trying to sell this b.s.? Your "challenge" required me
to
tow a boat what, 2000-2500 miles? For what? To meet up with an ass
like
you who allegedly owned a 22' Crappyliner? Maybe stupid works in
Derby,
Kansas, but not in my zipcodes.

No doubt, taking on such a Challenge with your skill set and
unsuitable
equipment would indeed have been a stupid and futile undertaking.
Point
is, when given the opportunity to back up *your* words, you puked out.
It's in the archives.
