winterization
ok self winterizers do you run antifreeze through the engine to get any water that is left over inside or not? I know that was standard with an I/O. I am looking at saving the bazillion dollars and winterize myself. Thanks

No antifreeze in mine. I drain the block, hoses, and lines. Boat is stored in a garage but garage is not heated. Mine's a DD. Don't know how that affects your decision on wot u do with yer V

I'm right down the road from you in Hickory

thanks for the information. I am probably not going to run the antifreeze. we get 1 or 2 hard freezes a year here so it should not be a big deal.

missed the part about you being in Hickory. that is just down the road. Good to see more moombas running around here. I am surrounded by CC and MC and Malibu. Where do you normally ride at?

If we get out early enough, in the main channel. Usually from Oxford Dam up to where US-127 crosses the river. That is about a 6 or 7 mile stretch.

Once traffic picks up, you can find us over at the sandbar by Rink Dam doing some 12oz. curls and catching some eye candy

I have put in @ US-127 and actually rode me board all the way to Oxford.
.
Did not fall once, but my arms felt like rubber when I was done.

unfortunately I have not had a chance to ride over there yet. We have been riding a lot in the cape fear river this year. It's about 100 yards wide and 16-20 feet deep where we ride. We have a stretch of water that is 16 miles long that I have tried to ride the entire distance a couple of times. Both times it ended badly with me trying some move that I can't do on a good day much less when my arms are smoked. I think I am going to give it a shot again today...probably with the same results
