When we got our new boat in April the water was a cool 52 and I rocked it with just my board shorts on. Our lake only ever gets up to the mid 70's ever, so colder water is just the norm here in B.C.

Central Texas is where I live so the water never gets colder than 53 that I've ever seen. That's drysuit for me since I only have a long sleeve shorty for water in the 60's.

Nice! What part of AR? My 2013 A20 will be here in a few months and am trying to figure out what type of gear I need to buy to get out on the water earlier next season. It's starting to sound like I need to buy a 3/2 then switch to a heater top after it warms up to around 70 degrees. Sound about right?
