When is it warm enough to store outside?

[Brace Doc]

I stored my pocket cruiser in indoor heated storage for the first time without winterizing my water system. When is it generally warm enough to store the boat outside? Is there some golden rule date for this area? Thanks.

Last year I was a newbie, I bought a boat and I just HAD to take it out on the river--- looking back I kind of laugh at myself now, but there is a good thread on this subject.

The easy answer is when it's above freezing.

I hope that you at least drained your water system. That's great that you got to store your boat in a heated storage unit, but I would be more concerned with rust and corrosion.

I have to agree with nitsuj, when it is above freezing. Hopefully that will be in the next week or so because I am ready to get mine out of storage.

If you aren't putting it in the water after tax time is a safe bet. We usually get that mid march into april freeze better safe than screwed
