Then add a Webasto, Wallas, or Espar diesel heater (be prepared for sticker-shock!). Avoid the temptation to use a propane "Little Buddy" or similar...unvented heaters produce wet-heat with lots of condensation inside the cabin.
Then add a good DIY hypothermia kit (towels, dry clothes, blankets, chemical thermal packs). And/or, wear a USCG-approved cold-weather work suit, and even consider a PLB.
Then use the boat unless the lake is frozen solid.
Fuel docks are far and few, and towing services generally shut down for winter, so you have to be somewhat self-sufficient.
Also, that boat uses lots of balsa-wood coring so all thru-hulls and mounting screws need to be absolutely waterproof or very large expenses can result.
