How many hours do you typically put on your boat engines/year?

Are you a year round boater or a season boater?

We would typically put between 60 to 80 hours on our boat/season, with our
season lasting from late May to late September. We used the last 2 boats
for cruising to other ports and for day trips to swimming and island spots.
The last 2 boats were not set up for fishing so we rarely, if ever, fished
off them.


Around 80, from mid-April to November something. This year I may try to go into
December if the striper run is good. A lot of the hour question depends on
whether trolling, chumming. or bottom fishing is the game plan.

On weekends friends, the wife, and I may go on short (30 miles or so)
excursions. I don't fish on the weekends 'cause there's just too many people out
there trying to catch something. Usually they end up catching a big mess of
someone else's lures and line!
