58 hrs. Spent every weekend except 1 when we were on vacation on a friends boat. My weekends start Thurs eve. and last to Mon. eve. Its all over now. :cry: Pulled out today and will most likely go to storage later this week. Now all I have to look forward to is a week in Aruba, a weekend in Las Vegas and a month in SW Florida. Maybe SW Florida Dave will give me a ride if I buy the beer. :lol:

I put 43 hours on the boat this year since I bought her in June. The old owner only put 63 hours on her since she was new in 2003. My kids are 22 and 24 years old. Both busy with college and working but we were able to have some great times this summer and that was worth what I paid for the boat. Money can't buy that. :mrgreen:

230 Mike - While most folks do call their engine a motor it is technically incorrect. Motors convert electrical energy into power and engines use combustion or pressure (steam, fuel) to convert energy into power.

We did about 36 hours on the engine. We are fairly simple users though. We put in, drive to our spot and anchor with friends for 3-5 hours at a time.

Leftlane...I cant tell you how much I am glad you got out of that slip. I knew that place was killing you.

:mrgreen: Yes, I'm familiar with the difference, I just thought that was ballast back there since I can't ever use mine. ;)

Actually, we did slip the boat for 3 days this summer and were on it all day, all 3 days. Not sure about the engine hours, but as usual we spent a lot more time drifting and swimming with the kids than running up and down the lake.

About 50 this summer for us. Which is a lot for us but we took up wakeboarding and spent all of those 50 hours learning, lol. Good times and come back summer time! We need another warm weekend so I can get my last ride of the season.

Almost 50 engine hours this year, about 35 or so on the gen. 20 hours on our 225 Sundowner before we sold it, and then about 30 or so on the new to us 268. Not a very good boating year, a lot of bad weather.
