Hello fellow Boatered...ers After a few months hiatus I am back on the forum. For some reason, once I haul the boat, i tend to drift away from the forums for a while. Probably a combination of the start of hockey season and the fact that 6 months is a long time to wait to boat again.

Now we have 18 inches of snow in the yard. I've had to clean the snow of the boat several times and 6-12 more is on the way. It's time to talk boating.

So.. what did I miss in the last few months. Reading old posts, it seems that Woodsong has a new boat and HOGAN is no longer posting in green.
 
Welcome back Scott. Same riff-raff and abuse as before going around on here.
 
Scott when you miss a day of BE you miss alot!

Welcome back...

I must say I had to clear snow of the boat for the first time ever... I can live without that task forever and we only had a one time snow fall of 4 inches. I am assuming even with shrink wrap you need to clear the snow /ICE off. Maybe I should invent heated shrink wrap to melt the snow on contact!
I am moving>>>>> further south
 
I use a tarp over a PVC frame. This year I didn't get a chance to re tighten the line tying the tarp down. The tarp was sagging a little with all the wet snow We had. Usually I have to do it maybe once a year if it gets a little loose but we've had a lot of snow.

I trudged through the three feet of snow around the boat and retied the tarp which should help.

Shrink wrap is better for shedding snow but at $400 plus a season it's a little much. May tarp is on it's third year. Will get a new one next year
 
Nothing looks more Homey than a torn raggedy shreded blue Tarp wafting in the wind.
 
Glad to see my favorite 10 meter dude back in the fray!
