This is what I looked at all day yesterday....Unfortunately, the lake is still low, and the water was only 43 degrees. Given that I'm still waiting on my interior, I'd probably be the only boat on the lake with no seats.

Sounds like you've got a couple of good reasons to be patient! Low water = prop repair.

Here's another reason!

cold water = shrinkage

2 weeks, and it's gonna happen

Shrinkage or prop repair?

Shrinkage or prop repair?

I was wondering the same question

[TigeDuner]

43 is way to cold for me. Hope the temps go up soon. We are looking at 60+ and that is still to cold.

Shrinkage, it's an annual occurrence. Prop repair won't be an issue. The lake is relatively deep, and I know it well. The only issue with the low water is docking and launching. Once the water hits 50ish, game on.

50ish is definably still shrinkage temperature.

What Lake is that?

50ish is definably still shrinkage temperature.

Dry Suit = no shrinkage

on a 40ish or 50ish water? I think I would need both not to shrink...
