Took my '07 200H in for the 20 hour and Winterization. That's all for this season. Barely got the boat broke in, it has a total of only 25 hours. Just goes to show, can't measure fun using an hour meter. The boat puts a grin on my face everytime. Now I just need to figure a way to put in some project time off season - storing it 200 miles away doesn't help! |

I agree Jim, after 3 seasons we haven't hit 60 hours yet, but we sure have a ball when we're using it. Every month I curse the storage payment but then remember how nice it is to have it nearby where I can do maintenance if I need or want to. |

Wow, all I can say is that you guy's can laugh at me all the way to the Bank, since you obviously have saved a lot of $ on fuel! This is the 4th season with my boat, and I am pretty close to 400 hours at this point! This season I put 120 hours on it alone, but as you both have said, that does not even come close to the # of hours we actually enjoyed the boat with the engine not running!! The weather was Great this past summer, and we were on the boat almost every weekend! I am hoping to stretch the season for at least another 2 weeks! |

Yup we are out for the season as well. Put 30 hours on our brand new boat since May when it hit the water. Pulled it yesterday washed it, acid washed the yellow stain off, waxed the entire thing as much as I could reach and dropped it off at the dealer for the winterizing. We will be storing it at our camp for the winter, we have no room for it at the house and I refuse to pay 50 a month for storage, so im sticking it behind the camp and hoping for the best. The good news is it made it thru the first season ans still looks brand new. ![]() |

Ours is done for the year also, I think we put on at least 50 hours this year. I'm starting to think I should add an hour meter even if it doesn't reflect total hours. Winterizing was done last week and washed and waxed it last weekend. I just have the inside left, I want to pull the carpet and run the carpet cleaner over it |

We're almost there too, but we are going to try and get this (Canadian) thanksgiving weekend out of her. After that, it's to the dealership for the 20 hr and winterizing, a good cleaning and waxing, then to the inlaws barn for the winter (full of toys, not animals!!!). Then, lots of waiting, the Toronto boat show in January, then some more waiting till spring '08. I am already anxious! |

Scratch that last post, the weatherman changed his mind for the weekend to soggy and windy, so we are pulling the boat tomorrow. ![]() BUMMER |

I have put 65hrs this summer and am hoping to get 2 more weekends depending upon the weather. We are planning a fall foliage trip up the CT river for the weekend of Oct 20th. The boat is scheduled to be hauled the week of Oct 29th. I have spent at least 1 night on the boat every weekend since the end of March. It has been a great summer ! |

Had the annual winterizing party on Saturday. Three boating buddies getting together to winterize our boats and mourn the end of the season. After eleven years, my hour meter reads 314 hours. I would like to see how many more were spent without the motor running! Great summer here in PA, ![]() ![]() |

I bought my 210 is mid August with 26 hrs and I got her up over 50 now. Debating when I should put her down for the winter. I would like to sneak in a cruise or two to check out the leaves when they start turning. |

I brought mine up to the dealer last week to be winterized shrink wrapped and have a couple warranty issues fixed. we put over 30 hours on it this summer and i loved every minute of it. we are hoping to spend a week up on lake winnipesaukee in NH next year. there is nothing worse than wishing time away but i really can't wait to get her back in the water |

Just to make you all envious... our boating season starts September and runs through to April/May. Been out 3 times so far this season - even had the kids out wake boarding in 60 degree water! |
