When do you plan to launch?
I am looking at no later than April 15th. If the weather cooperates and can get a nice weekend in March so I can get the boat waxed I would like to be in by April 1st.
 
Was supposed to be march 2nd... this snow kinda screwed me ....

Late May/early June if we get a decent breakup and even then I can just go to the floe edge.
 
We are shooting for St. Pattys day weekend. This has worked out OK the last few years.
 
Still in the water. De-winterize the first sign of a good weekend, usually 2nd week of March.
 
I should catch flak for this given where I live, but this year launch is going to be near mid June with haulout early in Sep. My shortest season ever.
 
As soon as the crane guys can get here to put the dock back in. Shooting for my favorite holiday, April Fools' Day. Mooring ball never came out, so I'm good to go now with the little boat.
 
Launch Date? I didn't know we were supposed to bring a date to that. My wife might get mad at me.
With or without a date, I usually get the boat in the water for the first time in early April.
 
Unplug the block heaters in a week or 2, open up the genset seacock and I',m ready to move to the summer slip
 
Hum.... Well we are scheduled to be in Ft. Lauderdale and hauled out on July 27th for a bottom cleaning and any last minute work that needs to be done then back in the water by August 10th (time enough to get whatever needs to be done,"hopefully?") then a week to provision and back over the pond to the Med for the hurricane season.

Not exactly the same as you "northern" snow and ice bound boaters but for us just as important.

Current plan is to move the new boat south to Jersey from Maine the week of April 23rd. Still trying to figure out what I'm going to do with the Sea Ray.....
 
Right now shooting for the first of April. but March has to help out a whole lot.
 
Boy, am I glad that my days of waiting for a launch date are over. Had the boat in the water on Jan 2. Since moving to Jax, everyday is launch day.
 
I'll Probably unwinterize the mercs this weekend and she be good to go. My first year in the water all winter and it went well. We used to splash around the middle of April, but it looks like we'll be boating about a month and a half early this year. Leaving the boat in the water extended my boating season from 7 months to almost 10. And we still enjoyed staying on it in Jan. and Feb. in the slip.
