Theoretically, you should be fine. The dip below 32 will not be long enough (most likely) to crack the block and you will have a bit of insulation on top of that. The water pump is a little thinner, but if I were to bet, I'd say you'll be fine.
If it's me, I'm getting up there to drain it. That's just me, the guy with the boat in his garage. Easy for me to say.

winterize? noooo. Just drain the block, and you'll be good to go for awhille yet, especially if your highs are in the 70's.
I'm sure if its inside and covered the cold will take ALONG time to get to it. had a freeze warning here in cincinnati this past weekend, my boat is semi-inside and i didnt have the block drained, i was absolutely fine. If you have a heater, that'll be the first thing to go

thanks for the input so far. here is my problem, my secretary is off today and tomorrow so i am stuck in the office. my daughter has a "play" at school early this evening and son has a football game tomorrow, oh and the boat is a hour away.
the freeze warning is mainly for friday night and then low temps all next week are in the mid to upper 40's.

Only an hour away? I would loose more sleep than that laying awake wondering if it was freezing... You could be up and back in less than 2hrs 15min. Make a road trip!
