I thought it might be interesting to see how much use we put on average on our boats yearly.

Usually less than 100. This year it may be closer to 51.234 hours. :D

I'm not sure what we'll wind up with since we got ours mid-season. We are averaging 2.3 hours per outing, however.

John,

Normally aobut 100 hours per year. The past 12 month, between my wife's broken hip, the move, new house and my unexpected open heart surgery have severely limited our boating. probably wiill be lucky to get 25 hours over the past 12 months.

:( With the amount of time this boat has spent in the service department at phil Dill :? , I will be surprised if we get 40 hours in this year!

I put about 120 to 145 hours per year on my boats.
Here in Florida, you use them every weekend.

We just rolled over 100 hours on our new 348 Vista. And there's still at least another 6 weeks we'll be boating regularly. I'm guessing we'll get to about 130 by the time it goes on the hard for winter.
