I pulled mine yesterday. We put 38 hours on the engine but we did spend just about every weekend on the boat from Friday evening on. Lots of time in the slip because of the weather. There's always something going at the marina. Sometimes we have to leave just to get away from the party. I'm sure hoping the weather next year will be better. Normally we would still be boating. We will be back down on a friend’s houseboat for one last cruise in a couple of weeks weather permitting.

What town are you in, or closest to?

We manageg to put 45 hrs on this summer. Not bad considering it's a 1.75 hr drive to the lake plus we have 2 little guys as well.

I think we are going to valet it next year to get some more time on the water.

It would be nice if it was more but there is always next year!!!!

Only 14 hours (running time :-) this summer! Sucks... weekend weather was not very cooperative here in OK (Grand Lake). Least number of hours we've had since owning a boat!

Plan to make up for it next summer though! :D

About 35 hrs this summer vs. the usual 80-100+ the last two summers. Feels like I spent the difference cutting grass. Oh well..at least the fuel bill was was under control. See if we can fix that next season.

The Admiral and I logged 34.4 hours this year on the new 318 and we won't winterize for another month. Hoping to have a few more nice days to stretch out the eisenglass :evil:
