Was just curious how many of us "got our money's worth" this season? I logged 72.9 hours from 4/15 thru 11/1...gonna try to do better next year.
How many hours did you get in this year?

Only out 7 times from 4/1 through 11/1. Maybe 30 hours compared to 100 normal. Working lots and broken too much!

About 30 hrs but got a late start(after Memorial Day) and because of the fuel prices , if I was going any great distance , like the Chesapeake , I would trailer part way instead of runnig the boat an additional 50/60 miles each way since the truck gets 13 mpg and the boat gets 1 mpg
Normally I do about 45 hours , so I'm not too far off the mark.

Redhot you got me in running hours. Between May 5, and the first week of october I logged 84 hours. I didnt even do that much running around. If the radio turned the hour clock on the boat while I was out I would have to say 300 or so. I would be tough spending more time on it than I did this year, I just didnt want to be sitting here in january with any regrets When Gas prices arent so high I will get more hours of run time on her.
Sorry might I add trouble free hours

Yeah, but you don't get to winterize your boat, and freeze your azz off, and shovel snow, and pay heating bills, and etc, etc.....
I can walk on water off of my dock in about a month can you?

You know whats sad, us boaters go in terms of gas, well thats really not bad, who thinks there weekend expenses equal there gas bill, I no I do. well consider maintence gas for today,

Well put 89 Donzi,
I have often wondered what we all spend for just a few good months on the water and all that goes with it.
I must say though, what ever the dollar amount is, it seems to be worth every penny!

56 Hours on the meter....not bad considering I was away for two weeks, and the end of the season weather was a little sketchy at times. Next year I am shooting for 75 even though I am switching marinas and the new marina is about 50% closer to everywhere I go. I will just have to hit Fire Island and the North Shore a few times next season.
