Default ITS NEVER TOO COLD FOR BOATING!!!

Just got my V-20 week before thanksgiving. Went out on it Nov 25th, as well as December 2nd. I live on Long Island (NY). It was cold, but it was well worth it to check out my new boat. Biggest problem now is that April is still 4 1/2 months away!!! Anyone have advice on how to make it summer right now in NY?

Who needs summer? Just get some good fisherman gloves, some of those handwarmer packs, some hot coffee, and you're good to go!

If you are able to score an enclosure, the sun warms the interior nicely on a cold, clear day.
