Winter close up advise

Is there anything you found specific to these crafts that needs attention before storage.
Also I have for the first time permanantly mounted GPS and FF so I can't take them off for winter like I used to. Will those electronics and displays be ok stored in the cold?

Simple winterizing system, MOVE TO FLORIDA ;D ;D

No need for anything fancy Rap, after a couple of cocktails things loosen up a bit ;) then the in floor live well works well.
I have no power close to where boat is stored so it will either be a long heavy cord or pulling the batteries, which what I think I'm going to do this year, everything kind of snuck up on me and now I have a sub freeze arctic blast. And I am in full blown hunting season so my best bet is to close Old School up and work on it for a early spring. Got the boat too late this year to get everything set the way I need. Seems the older I get the faster time flies :-/

Yeah, times FLYIN' for me, too...if you're gonna pull the batts, you might wanna consider goin' ahead, get the onboard charger, plug directly into outlet and keep the batts hot all winter, then install in spring...dang it's FUN spendin' other peoples' money... ;D ;D ;D...

Love the after-booze live-well suggestion...will have to try that...
