Sorry southerners, but this poll is for northern boaters only.

Answer these questions:

1. Is your boat in the water and/or ready to go?

Mine lives on a trailer but yes, I have been out riding it for I think
five weekends now, started the season on Apr. 2nd with a figure-eight
around Staten Island and Manhattan; rides have included an overnight
trip up the Hudson River and an afternoon swing around Fire Island just
this past weekend.

2. How much time did you spend prepping your boat for launch?

3. What exactly did you do/have done to the boat to prep it?

4. Did you do it yourself or contract it out?

Took it to the local dealership for their spring conditioning service,
they did a good job and provided good value on winterizing it last
winter. I guess for spring prep they check the condition of the
battery and that things are properly lubed and/or tightened. Up to
about 160 trouble-free hours on the Yamaha four-stroke now at the
beginning of its second season.

5. What size is your boat?

11 feet!

Do you brave 'Hell's Gate' on your boat?
