How many hours have you put on this season so far?

I'm probably at 10 to 15 hours so far, all on a lake so lots of running and shutting down. Hope to get more, got a new prop to run
 
About 13 hours on my pontoon. I believe my son is responsible for more than half of them....

Maybe 2 hours on my Persuader. Hope to get more this weekend. Trying to dial in the new prop and trim/tab settings.

The joys of owning a lake house: More working on the property, less time on the water.
 
Hours.

A few years ago I had my 2011 checkmate pulsare/250 ProXS. Cant remember hours but the first year I had it I went thru 18 plus gallons of oil. Just thinking out loud about how far I may have gone. If the oil is truly 100 to 1 that means I went thru at least 1800 gallons of fuel. The boat got at the worst 3 mpg and best I saw was 5mpg. If I use 4mpg which is fair because I didn't run wide open all the time, Ha, I could have gone 7200 plus miles. Thats across the country, back and then pretty far over again. When I did the math I was amazed. Like I said not sure about the hours but Im sure that many number of miles translates into a lot. I also can't believe how someone can only put like 10 hours on a season but to each his own. I was out every day it didn't rain from April thru Sept.
 
I'm in the about 10 club for now ...trip up north to clean waters of Lake Huron soon will pile some hours on ! The maumee is bout like Saginaw river , in appearance & floating hidden crap . 1st thing you do is wash boat & yourself upon exiting!
 
Just passed 10 hours but we are located on the lake and have a big Pontoon boat with 175 HP Johnson for all of the family time. The Pontoon has 28 hours so far this summer if that counts for anything!
:banana:
 
We used to live on the lake in the Midwest and had a hard time putting 20 hours on the boat a year considering the weather and the other 6 months of the year it was in storage
Then we moved west and became lake whores.
I'll have to look at the hour meter.
Might need another oil change already.:banana:
 
15 minutes from the boat launch to my dock last Sunday.
Ice wiped out my crib this year. Set me back 4 weeks.
I blame the government.
 
i put 40 on the checkmate before i sold it. as of Sunday ill start putting hours on the Formula.

probably double that in cleaning time! :rof:
