Mine stays in all summer. It's a 1961 Texan with a 75HP Evinrude of the same vintage. It has a fiberglass top to keep my bald head out of the sun, and rod holders for trolling. I catch my share of large bass on the lake I live on by trolling rattle traps and other deep crank baits. The old boat even has a very small cuddy with two "portholes" on each side so you can sort of peek out. I bought it as a basket case at auction when an outdoor storage yard closed down town. I had to dig the lower unit out of some hedge tree roots. Dang thing had sunk in the ground over the years past the trailer rails. I totally went through the boat and did a massive tune up on the motor. She runs like a champ now.
