Same here, I haunt the forum in the off season.  Just don't have good stories to share.

I get them also, I think it's so you can reply.

When you say you get a notification are you talking about an e-mail? 

randy56

No underneath your name, looks like a globe, just right of your picture.

Can still get waterfront and spend time with friends in the winter. Feels like money well spent to me.

I have property up north and a buddy with crap load of land near by
my body just can’t handle the cold like before lol

rasbury

I like my Florida weather- for son it is just to hot and I get that if your not a native of the state. I'd just rather sweat than shiver...

JoeStang

You'd be surprised how much you sweat snowmobiling. With the right gear you're never cold, unless its below 0 and is windy, then it gets a little chilly.

Believe me if I lived in Florida I would love being able to boat anytime.  However, I think having some downtime makes me love and appreciate it that much more.  Also, if I didnt have downtime, I would never **** sh$$ done as I am at the boat every weekend! 

JoeStang

My liver and my wallet could not handle year round boating lol

Not really. We have Thanksgiving, then Christmas, then we go on a cruise in February, then the Detroit Boat Show, then it's March and time to start boat prep.  No time for snow toys.

i (almost) finished installing the FWC on the brand new engine... I was(am) short two fittings and several clamps... took about two and a half leisurely hours to install it with the engine sitting on a pallet (as opposed to being in the boat)- so not a big deal at all- but then i realized two fittings were missing and a few clamps.... 

and then what occurred to me next consumed another hour:  i was thinking "man that was easier than it would have been in the boat", and the locations/orientation of the clamps came to mind- so... i spent that last hour arranging them where they'll be easier to access once it's planted, if i ever have to.
