For me, the season is over. It typically ends in late October for me and can begin as early as St. Patricks Day. Depending on the " HONEY DO" list. So when does your season end and begin and how often a week do you boat?
 
I'm typically in the water first week of April and out before the end of October. This year I could have extended it well into November, but who would have guessed that here in Ohio. We make it out almost every weekend and rent a few places for long weekends through out the summer.
 
It's late November and we're Tampa, FL is going to hit 80 degrees Thanksgiving to Monday.
 
First warm weekend of March, usually around the kids spring break. Were usually done in early November
 
Dido on that NEVER sorry for yelling sometimes I can't help myself.
 
Normally for me in Ohio, it's about April-September. This year I was able to launch for the first time in March and I took my boat out last week (late November). I could get used to that!
 
End of May/ early June until the end of September..
 
This past season April to early September here in NCAL/ SF Bay Area, could have gone into Mid to late October easy weather wise but with a freshman in high school time has been tight.
 
It begins when I put the key in the ignition and head for the water and ends when I pull up in the yard and wash everything down.
 
This is my first season but plan on boating Thanksgiving day (supposed to be sunny and 71). If it's nice around Christmas I'll also take her out. Probably be done early Jan/Feb and have her out again mid-March depending on weather. Gotta prep for Bimini! :)
 
She's on a lift year round and we hit the lake whenever we have a warm afternoon during the winter.
 
Mid April, thru mid October. Dictated by the seasonal operation of the marina.
 
Plan on going out this friday.... was out this past Saturday for 4 hours
 
I'm turning my SX190 into a fishing boat for the fall and early winter. I suspect January and February will be my off season.
 
I bought the four season model FSH. :D
 
Hope to get in 7 months of boating each year. Unless the wife talks me into moving south, but I don't see that happening in the near future.
 
Mine usually ends in the beginning October and starts up again the mid of May.
 
Speaking of late-season boating in Ohio... I wasn't the only Yamaha out at Caesar Creek this past Friday. Shout-out to the other AR owner who thought the lake sounded like a better idea than work! They were cutting in and out of my wake having a great time! Hopefully they're a member of the site and they see this.
