An old, frayed blue-tarp awning over the cockpit will absorb the infrared from that Florida sun, and keep your motor completely safe. It will also lend that special "trailer-yacht trash" look to your boat -- you RAT!

If we only had 70 deg's I would be wearing a T shirt instead of wool swetters and coat's. Our water temp in the summer is only about 50. Nothing to worry about in 70 deg weather other than swetting
