Boating until January..... depends on alot of factors!

The water temp of the lake is the biggest factor. I would start getting nervous when the water temp falls below 38 degrees or so...

If your boat has an outboard on it, your pretty safe from freezing as they are self draining.

If you have an inboard/outboard you will need to put some sort of heat in the bilge. Usually a high wattage light bulb will do. I recommend using a pair of them in case one blows out....
