Can I get away without winterizing my boat if I want to use it all year?

[elportpablo]

I and my new friends at Apknite company have planned to use my boat all year so is there any way to get away without winterizing? It is cold here but my boat has a system where it pumps seawater into a radiator then over the board. The engine uses a glycol water mix. I want to fish all year and use my larger boat because it has a heater.

Where are you boating ?
What’s everyone else doing ?
What type of engine(s) and other machinery has the boat got .

How cold is cold there and for how long?

I would think you will be fine as long as it isn't cold enough for the sea to freeze.

If by "Apknite company" you mean the company based in Chandler Arizona, I would say you will be fine. It seems like it barely ever gets below zero, with average lows of about 5°C.
