Well I was hoping to get one more run it, but it isn't going to happen now with more heavy rains coming and turning too cold for now. I covered our toon last night and it won't get uncovered until at least March 2010 (depending on wind/weather), by then hopefully I'll have the enclosure put up. So list the State you're in, if you've got it parked, covered, wrapped, etc or if you're just a hard core pontooner (you Florida types don't count) , we know you folks fish year round if the wind allows it.

middle TN, covered 10/21/08, parked until March 2010 at least. Now the jon boat, that's a different story.

well i hate to admit it but it is parked and waiting on spring.  I have the mooring cover on it but wondering if it will hold up to the weather this winter.  I have also thought about adding a 20x30 tarp over it as well.

No such thing as 'cover it up and park it' here...we use the boat all year long.  We spent the night in it last New Year's and will probably do so again this year.  As long as the dock has power...we have heat...and we're not afraid to use it  

Actually right now is a good time to overnight on the boat...not too warm during the day and cool enough at night so we don't get too hot inside the enclosure.

Our toon has been winterized for a couple weeks now. Way too cold to even think about boating now. Snow will be here soon, up north where we vacation has already had a few inches of that 'white crap'!

Speaking of not putting it away, we spent the night on the boat last night.  I think it got down to 40...but we were warm thanks to the blanket and 2 comforters on the bed

Another shot a little bit later...

Went up to Coopers Creek today, kicked back and relaxed some more.  I'm just useless when the weather's good   (And yes, it's as 'fishy' as it looks...the fishfinder goes crazy in here.)

Come on down.  We boat year 'round here. It's great if you can stand the summers!

Still boating here in Central Virginia on Lake Anna.  Planning to pull it out, park it and wrap it the weekend of Nov. 21.  It was a great first year for me owing a pontoon.  Here is a shot of us out 2 weeks ago before the leaves really started to turn.
