Harry,
Tell us about winterizing your Lobster Boat.

Yeah, and Tristan, unlike Skipper, actually spent time on boats.


You are such a yenta, Krause. Grow up!


BTW, I hauled Yo Ho to the dealer this morning for winterizing, and in
the hour it took me, I spent more time with a real boat than you have in
years.


I couldn't possibly do a quality and *thorough* job of 'winterizing' in
one hour. Neither can your dealer. You may find these quickie Jiffy Lube
jobs acceptable, I do not. If you want it done right, proper winterizing
is a DIY job, or very expensive. Believe most dealers know your kind is
just not willing to pay for a job well done.

I do wish you knew a bit more about boating, Krause...

You really are a numnutz, Adolf. And like most righties, you cannot
understand what you read. It took me an hour to haul the boat to the
dealer and do the bit of paperwork. Then we stopped for breakfast on the
way home. The boat is awaiting its turn for winterizing.

The dealer knows precisely how to winterize an outboard motor, the head,
and the through-hull valves on my Parker, and he knows how to check the
electrics and grease the fitting on the boat and the trailer, and he knows
how to remove the batteries, wash the boat inside and out, and shrinkwrap
it.

Very expensive? Maybe for a p.o.s. Bayliner like you allegedly owned, but
half a large or so ain't a lot to spend on a nice boat with some value.

Now, what boat are you winterizing this year, eh?

None.
