41... about the same as last year, even though gas was about 1/2 the cost. More importantly.... 1) the GF can pull me skiing 2) The GF can (theoretically) back the trailer 3) Busacharger and Doc99 actually come out and play with me now :wink:

About 12 hours; 50% more than last "Summer" and the year before! I just topped up the tank. Compared to what the Navman fuel consumption indicator thought I needed to flll the tank it was only about 1 litre out; 1 litre on ca 450 litres used , ca 0.22 % error, very impressive!

39 engine hours and many more on the hook. The highlight was probably the fireworks on the 4th on Lake Oconee.

We put 20 hours on the meter at the end of the season. We knew that by keeping the boat 2 1/2 hours from home we might get less time, but our time was better quality. It made us get away for an entire weekend.

Also, when we bought the boat it only had 60 hours. For a 12 year old boat that averages 5 hours a year. So our 20 hours in one year was a change for the boat! I am very happy that we did not have any mechanical issues at all. The engine would stutter coming up on plane for the first tank of gas but after that it ran great.

Now I just hope next year has better weather!
