Chuck's Boat US report citing that all 50 states can have below freezing
temps is no doubt correct, but I don't know of anyone in the southern parts
of Florida that winterize a boat.

In fact, I think you would be considered nuts.

That's true but there was a hard freeze in Palm Beach back in the mid
80s. I had friends living there at the time and a lot of landscaping
was damaged. That could have potentially damaged a non-winterized
boat stored out of the water. The Tampa area gets freezing weather at
least several times every winter.
