A heater will lower the already low winter humidity and dry out the wood. You can get a plug-in block heater that just keeps the engine (AND wet exhaust) warm with less risk to the wood. Another option is to learn how to winterize it yourself. Takes me less than 20 minutes, so if I really want to plop her in one more time it is not a big deal.

Maybe make the whole boat out of metal. I guess those Roamer people were on to something.

A woody boater friend of mine suggested I get a (safe) space heater and just keep using the boat well into November, since I get it winterized in the boathouse anyway. I chickened out and had it winterized a few weeks ago. Then, of course, we’ve had three beautiful, warm weekends in a row, and we’ve got another one coming up. Season’s too short already. Next year, I’m listening to you, John.

I learned that the hard way. Fortunate for me it was below the chine near the bow and only sawed through the outer plank (double planked bottom).

I like the story: When the light go out, go Woody Boating!

Now I understand why it’s made of metal, silly me. Would it work better if I had serrations on mine?
