I leave mine on and fully stocked all Summer.
I think one of the often overlooked benefits of boat ownership happens right there at the dock. It's those hours you squeeze out between work and home obligations and errands. The hours here and there where you slip down to the boat, have a drink and maybe a bite to eat, and relax while polishing (or think about polishing) the odd bit of stainless or fiberglass.
That's much easier to do if there's cold drinks and ice on the boat 24/7.
