Duh, plug, twice. First time was about the 3rd time I used the boat. Typical save and recovery. 2nd time was just in the last month.I bought that nice canvas cover from Sportsman's Warehouse a couple of months ago to cover the boat. I also made some PVC pipe supports to keep it from sagging and pooling up but I forgot to put them in last time I used the boat. It just dawned on me Saturday that I didn't put them in or pull the drain plug. I looked at the tires on the trailer and they were sinking into the gravel a lot more than they should have.I went out there Saturday afternoon and there was about 6 inches of water and ice in the back of the boat. It tapered up to about 1/2" thick at the windshield. I crossed my fingers and pulled the drain plug and turned on the bilge pump. Took about 20 plus minutes to drain the whole boat. I spent yesterday afternoon chipping ice off the carpet. I double crossed my fingers and hooked up the water to the motor and hit the key. I was absolutely sure the starter would be toasted. It turned a little slow from the battery not being charged but started up. I let it run for about 25 minutes and it settled into a nice idle after blowing some black smoke out of the exhaust and sputtering at first start up. I think I'll be shop-vaccing the water out when the temps go up.
Duh....

Hmm, I may be building a more solid roof over the thing sometime this summer.
