I will be taking delivery on my new Pontoon week after next. I have a dockominium and slip at Lake Texoma in North Texas. The water never freezes, but the temperatures do get below freezing in January and February. I've always had my jet boat, which I traded for this pontoon on a lift and the lift will not work for the pontoon so it has been sold. I noticed most of my slip neighbors just leave them in the water with the outboard engine down in the water except for a couple of them which have seemed to trimmed the outboard motor up for the winter season, which is confusing me. Since the water never freezes up at Lake Texoma is this ok? If so, besides adding fuel stabilizer what else do I need to do when I put her in the water in the next few weeks?
Another option is there is storage up the road I could pull her out if she really needs to be out of the water for those two months, but since nobody else seems to do that it sounds like a bit of a hassle. I also plan on using her for some fishing the rest of this month and maybe some in Jan and Feb if it's not too cold. Sorry if this is a newb question, but this is my first tritoon and my second boat I've ever owned.
Thanks!
