As for my pattern of use, it's not particularly relevant. Where I
keep my boat, I can get to good fishing spots in 15 minutes to an
hour of running the engine. So, it's easy to spend the entire day
fishing and not have the engine on for more than hour on some trips.
I can cross Chesapeake Bay in 15-20 minutes and drift fish for
flounder all day long without starting the engine up for the return
home. You can do these sorts of things when your boat cruises easily
at 25-30 mph.


Maybe so but 115 hours in 4 years is very light usage by anyone's
definition.

You need to get out more.

We've run 200 hours in the last 5 weeks.



Yeah, well, what takes you 200 hours I probably can do in two on a
commercial flight. I like being there, not getting there.


This was really posted by the guy who was contemplating (due to his
narcissism no doubt) repowering the Parker with a 300HP Yamaha! What
next, Harry?
