.......have you taken your boat out this year?


Almost every day since new years

At least twice, but usually three times, every single weekend.

I average about 350 hours on my boats each year.

NOT AT ALL FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR!!! (we sold our boat) Insert sob here

That's a good point, the hours. I've had my ski boat for 1 year and I have
almost 80 hours on the engine. I hope to get out several more times with
the kids including a labor day campout and then once every one or two weeks
when the lake turns over for some trout fishing.

Nice. Northern boaters are lucky to hit 100 hours/year unless they spend a
lot of time trolling on their main engines.

I would guess 50 to 75 hours is the average for boaters on the Great Lakes.

Launch is normally no earlier than May 1st. Pull out is normally no later
than November 1st.
