Trailering in sub freezing temps
I plan to pull a U-22 for about 8 hrs in sub freezing temps this month. This wood hull is finished with a glass mat(mostly15oz.)and fiberglass lay up with medium density filler compound. Yes I will be winterizing engine with antifreeze before I leave. With out a long and detailed dissertation of my concerns,..is there anything I need to worry about with respect to the frigid temps along the way? ie cracking wood,fiberglass, popping screws. Or am I overthinking this? Slow and steady will be my plan. Thanks

Don't do it right after a snow storm. Wait till the salt has dried. Also hit a car wash when close to destination. Spray down the boat and trailer.
