Not sure what you are asking but the way I look at 300 hours is 30 days
worth of 10 hour days.

OK so subtlety is missed around here all too often, I now find it best
to just say outright; you're full of it. Granted you're not as stupid as
Harry but hey you can probably breath unassisted:-)

Not really all that much.

Yes it "really" is up where you are!!! As I said; save you're a
commercial user, 30 X 10 hr days of pleasure use in a short season; come
on just put your hands up & we'll forget this little story:-) Like
Harry the liar & many other lame BS'ers you well overshot the made up
claim:-)

I begin boating in mid-April and end in November.
Some days giant tuna fishing can be 16-20 hours on the water with most of it
being with the engine running.

"Giant" tuna fishing "Giant"???? yes of course:-) & gee 6 "full" months
at that latitude?? You are one tough BS'er you certainly are. The only
thing getting "giant" about this story is your nose:-)

Adds up quickly. Too quickly.

What adds up is you should stop digging now before you actually pop
out down he-) (you're allowed to check my headers as I am yours:-)),
honestly sometimes I get concerned that others even take this BS
seriously, as for you?? I'm not concerned at all you'll be just fine &
keep selling!! selling!! selling!! something to anyone you can somewhere.

Don't be too concerned about the few hundred dollars your "story"
complains about for maintenance, damn 100HP X 2 at cruise are burning
14-15 US gals/hr @ say $2/gal?? or say those 10 hr days???:-) According
to your own claim you're spending $300 a day on fuel:-) seems to me
you'd be glad to spend the money in the "off" season just because you'd
be so used to it.

Gee; I do hope you see the humour in this, I certainly have.

I vented about my 100hp Yamaha oputboard with 900 hours on them, both,

I got a very humorous reply about how I "must have bought a lemon".
BWAHAHAHAHA.

Got me thinking though, is 900 hours a lot of hours for a $8000-9000

engine?

Maybe my expectations are too high. But darn, if I put 300 hours a year

on

my boat, should I only expect the engines to last about 3 years? Is

the

very funny gentleman who replied correct? Should I cash in my ocean

going

lifestyle for a set of golf clubs?? :-(




300 hrs a year?? in Phil? area that's over 10 hrs per week in the
season being generous & 2 X 100 Hp is what?? minimum 20 kt cruise??

Unless you're a commercial user how do you manage to rack that many
hours up???

Anyway just asking.
