Block Heater vs Winterizing
I live in Houston and it really only get's below freezing about 15 nights a year w/ the absolute low being typically around 20. I have heard from others in this area that they have never drained their block and the boat is fine. I'm not ready to go that far but am considering using some block heaters instead on winterizing. Anyone ever done this? Opinions?
Here are a couple of the options:

Let me know what you think.
Block Heater vs Winterizing
Got the block warmer and 100w right now. Still haven't had a freeze. Hope to go out in the next 3 weeks.
Block Heater vs Winterizing
Winterize over block heater. Really guys. 15 days. Must be rough. Since my boat sits for seven, eight, or nine months I drain the water out of it. Last winter my idiot neighbor left his 96 outback full of water outside and it still didn't freeze. Wouldn't be my luck.
