Yeah. I don’t think the wife is going to let me spend for both. I have already used up all of my 8 hours and have so much more to map.

boat is fully dry. No mold and all electronics work! Thank again everyone!

Any one have suggestions on dealing with the mold? A coworker said to put dry laundry soap and hose it down really well. Open to an suggestions. I hope I can get her inside before our next big snow.

Thank you everyone. This forum rocks! I am praying nothing went wrong, I love this boat and is a perfect starter boat, but don’t have much money to put into it.

This is the first time It has froze as far as I am aware. Hopefully the next few days of 50 degrees will help thaw it out and dry the ground out enough I can pull it into a garage. I won’t connect anything until everything is fully dried out.

I don’t think I will ever keep it outside again.

All tanks and batteries were removed. Motor was winterized.

Thanks guys! It’s a early 90s Lund explorer aluminum. Nothing fancy and perfect for learning these lessons. I am in IL. We are expected to have 50 degree weather until Thursday so I pulled the cover off the rear to let some sun and air hit it.

For now I’ve put 4 more pavers under the front jack to give it a steeper angle and put one of my chairs in the rear spot which is right where it sunk. It looks like the problem would be reduced if we get anymore snow.
