I am one of those people, having seen how water is often located in unexpected places, and how the expansion of that water as it turns to ice can be hugely destructive. I saw how the supports for a fishing tower were all burst at their bases (apparently, it is good practice to drill weep holes, even though there shouldn't be water there in the first place). And how water logged foam coring cause massive fiberglass delamination. Frankly, it is the prospect of freezing damage that keeps me from considering leaving my boat in Alaska (or BC) for the winter. I still think Washington could generate more tax revenue if they had a policy that taxed guys like me (and maybe OP) without scaring us away entirely.
