Winter Operations

[sierrawave]

I am researching the Speedster, Challenger and Islandia, leaning toward the Speedster with Rotax 1503 4-TEC. I plan to use the boat year round at Lake Tahoe where daytime winter temps are generally 25-40 degrees, water temp 35-40 degrees. If the boat is garaged will I need to winterize/unwinterize every time I take it out? Appreciate advice.

No. If you are keeping it in a warm (above freezing) garage... and it's getting used every few weeks... then you will be fine. If it's going to sit for more than 3 weeks, I would recommend putting stay-bil in the fuel, and fogging the engine.
