Rumor has it that if the clouds stay away on saturday the inland temp will hit 65.
That being said the water temp is still F*&$ing cold. I'm going in anyway. Any other
NE hardcore's out there?
I go in the back river in weymouth. not an issue with the offshore stuff as it'll be way too cold out there. However, I'm ready for a little toot around the neighborhood.
Go for it Gemini. Good weather to keep chugging through the punch list: one new batt, one new bilge pump, a little wiring upgrade, floscan, zincs, raft repack, and on and on and on...... still gotta prep the tender, too. shooting for a Mid April launch. fingers are crossed

I saw the weather forcast also and moved up my delivery date to Saturday. Will be the first day out in the new boat, just hope no more snow!!!
New motor for the lilltle boat to break in. 15HP Evin. 4 stroke on a 14' Monark. Manual says to warm up for 5 mins. Hope it doesn't freeze before that.
I have been saying for the last 3-4 weeks I was going in and have yet to do it, been too cold to even wax my hull never mind go out on it!! Really depressing the last couple years, at least last year I was out last week in March. It is looking like I may need to wait until May
My boat been ready to go for a shake down for 2 weeks now.
All it has to do is stop snowing,raining, or blowing 40 for a day and we are off, oh it would be nice to see the sun
