How many hours this season?

[melida]

I’m a year round boater and I calculate my annual hours every year when spring maintenance comes and when the oil changes.
Since may 13 I put only 62 hours. I was planning a long trip but my wife’s grandma was died in june 25 and next week the funeral, one week later 7 ceremony and so the 40th of death so at the half of august and summer almost finished.
I bought it in february 2009 and put in water in april 25 2009 while she had 135 hours and now it has 304 hours just done Sunday night so 169 hours in 1,5 years.
Also 5 hours of dinghy motor.
Best regards.

120 from April to Nov. on engines. 275 on the generator.

 

[OldSkool]

35 hours run time on Old Skool and 20 hours on the trailer to and from the lake and about 70 hours as a sun/swim platform. Mostly used as a swim platform and transportation to island 17 on Lake Keowee, SC.

We've made our last trip for the year. We put about 170 on the Mains and 440 on the Generator. About 5,200 gallons of diesel. Next year I'll keep track of the miles, now that I have my new bridge PC. After looking at these numbers, I really want to get an inverter to cut down on the genny hours.

About 100 hours on the engines.

Countless hours not moving, and enjoying the water.....and a cold beer.

We have put about 110 hours on the boat so far. Figure about 2 or 3 more weeks of potential use before it gets tucked away for the winter.

5200 gallons of fuel? A good reason to move up to another Dancer but deisels this time! I bet Frank W's or Turtles boat with the same stats would have quite a bit less fuel burn...

Less than 10 hrs this year ( but every weekend on the boat). Last year had 80.

Holy cow, that's a lot of fuel. I did 225 hours on about 2500 gallons. I'm definitely slower that Greg though, and a lot of that was coming up the ditch at idle speed.
