    Well Maybe a bit farther away for some. But what is everyone doing to prepare?

    I have to get a new eazy-up and change the lower unit oil in my boat. I take my RV trailer to the river and leave it during the summer so that requires a bit of work to get ready.

    What does everyone else do?

    Still snow on the ground here.

    For starters I need a new water pump on the engine, would like to replace my trailer, cut the shrink wrap off, a wash and wax job, fill up the fuel tanks put the drain plug in and back it down the ramp. That's about it. Hopefully in April.

    With the water being low and no snow cover I'm adding 24 feet of dock

    Ordering a trailer, and deciding on parts/accessories/etc.... All while preparing for/praying for the "snowfall of the century" that is supposed to come this weekend. A whopping 6-18 inches (depending on who you listen to). Should be good times. Maybe I can finally pull the snowmobile out of the trailer and cruise the hood.

    What kind of trailer are you looking at ? I also need a new trailer for my 18.

    It looks like I am just going to go with a Trailmaster. That's what Tom Miller sells, and that makes it pretty easy.
