Hi,
New to boating this year, Picked up the boat 1st july and had to put in in storage 15th sept due to commitments, got 100hrs on it this year FW H200 used no oil and it was still clean at the oil change. hit the prop and skeg though. Lake eris can be a bit shallow near Buffalo harbour. Not to bad having skeg repaired over winter and got a new prop and old one fixed so i have a spare now, great fun though. Ray

100 Hours

You must be retired Most people only manage 30-50 hours.

I only put 7 hours on our H260 this year and the new to us Chap doesn't have a hour meter but I suspect about the same on it just from the amount of times we used her.

We got 80 hours...pretty happy with that. I just don't want to divide that into the total of my payments for the year.

Getting close to the time to put some miles on the winter sleds!

Given all the ethanol related fuel problems and bad fuel pump on the port engine, we only got around 10 hours this year. It took all she could muster to stagger out of the marina to the adjacent cove so we could anchor. However, now that I got the fuel pump fixed and all the crappy fuel out of her system, I plan to do a lot of crusing in the upcoming winter months when no one is on the lake. We can get away with bilge heaters around here so no need to winterize.

It was a bad summer for us as well with the trim pump issue and just normal work issues, but we totaled around 50 hours, which is half of what we normally do.

Only 98 so far. Spent two months rebuilding my fishing boat. Weather cooling now so back to the H190 we go!

We put on about 20 hours in 3 weeks. Although, considering that our newly purchased 17 year old boat only had 130 hours on it, we upped the ratio a whole lot this year.

I got about 50 in this year. We were out today which to be out in October is a first for us.

We put about 20 hrs on the Chris Craft. Traded that in about a month ago for the Frenzy, and put 10 hrs on it. Just preped it for winter storage this weekend.
