A few reasons. 1. If I go down to work on the boat I don't have to wait for hours for the boat to heat up. 2. Seems to keep mold and damp from building up. In Maryland at least you will typically cycle from below to above freezing frequently, sometimes every day. 3. If we get a nice day and I decide to go sailing the interior is not cold-soaked. 4. We have quite an overlap in Maryland where it *might* freeze but the sailing is good too. Also see frostbite racers. Not everyone wants to re-winterize their engine 10 times a year.

I am in Branford ct. I am interested in thought on this issue and why a properly winterized boat needs to be heated.
