1. Failure to winterize the engine: Freezing temperatures occur in all 50 states and while they are taken seriously up north, it’s the balmy states of California, Florida, Texas, Alabama and Georgia where boaters are most likely to have freeze-related damage to engine blocks.

That’s due to the state’s inequitable tax code that appraises every single waterfront parcel — marina, boat ramp, commercial fishing operation or any other water-dependent facility — at “highest and best use” tax rates, not what the property is actually used for. On November 4, Sunshine State voters will have a chance to level the playing field by voting “yes” on Amendment 6, which if passed will allow waterfront parcels to be assessed on their present use as a marina, launch ramp or other waterfront business, and help keep the state’s waterways accessible to all Floridians.
