T&T: Year round boating?

[Gil Johnson]

Art, I winterize my boat's water system for the winter. I also winterize the
engine and generator. Over the course of the winter, if I use the boat, the
water system stays winterized and the engine and generator are rewinterized.
Three gallons of anti-freeze mixed 50/50 with water is plenty for both engine
and generator.  To me, that's small price to pay to enjoy the boat on those
nice days on the Bay.  If someone needs to use the head, it's simply flushed
with anti-freeze.  Drinking water needs to brought on board, which is no big
deal.

A question about year round boating here in Maryland.
It never really gets 
too cold here.... and for the rare times when Bay water
freezes(haven't seen 
it happen in years)... there are bubblers to prevent ice
at the marina... 
While my boat is hauled and winterized... How would one keep
a boat ready to 
go year round without having to winterize the engine after
each use? I know 
I see boats in use year round... I know we have January
fishing 
tournaments.... so how does one keep a boat in use year round?
Anyone have experience with this? 

Thanks, 
Art
