Flight of the Snowbird

Each year thousands of folks travel from New England down to winter homes in the south. These “snowbirds” are often retired people who keep their northern homes to be close to family and friends, but they want to enjoy their retirement-and escape the cold!- in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida. Rather than transport entire households twice a year, snowbirds keep their winter homes fully furnished and well stocked.

Part of a complete winter home includes a boat to use for fishing and entertaining friends. After sitting in the marina or dry-dock for several months, the boat is going to need a tune-up. All seasoned snowbirds know that as part of basic maintenance, evinrude XD100 oil should be used. By using the best oil for a 2-cycle engine, you can be sure that your boat will function for winters to come.
