Then it went right to hot and humid, not much of any kind of Spring.

I wound up buying a pellet stove to heat my house. It was cheaper to purchase and install that dam thing than get raped on L.P.....
Now, you can't hardly find a 500 or a 1000 gallon tank to stock up. One more reason to GTFO....

...lived in florida for a very long time now. there are a couple months in summer that are so hot & humid, that when you get out of the shower & in your clean set of cloths, and walk out the front door, you get hit in the face by a big wall of humidity & you immediately start sweating so much you won't believe... it will take a couple years to get used to the heat in peak summer here, but after that you will enjoy it. i said for years after moving here...i would rather sweat than freeze anytime.

I've grown tired of going outside in the winter and wondering why my face hurts. I'll adapt.

Only put 2hrs on it so far. It will fit our needs perfectly. I’m not a fisherman so the CC thing never made sense for us. Hitting sandbars and smaller Keys makes this the perfect boat.
