Twenty-three hours for me and that includes two weeks of camping with the boat and skiing at home twice a week with the time split between two boats. I also put a couple of hours cruising in the spring and early summer. I don't know what more I can do to get more hours. It seemed like I used it a lot but the math says I didn't.
Damn. Lots of you guys have low hours.
It would be cheaper to pay for lessons on a wakeboard school boat!!!
When I calculate boat loan, gas, docking fees, storage, winterization etc.. It's rougly $10,000 per year.
If I only put 23hrs on my boat, that would be $434/hour!!!!
41 hours, bought the boat August 26th. It's been awesome! Just wish I wasn't approaching a 7-8 month hiatus...
about 25hrs this year, 135 total hrs 08,09,10 .going to be put up in two weeks. Nice thing about a lake house just use the boat when you need it.
also we put about 80 hrs our friends MC x-45 ;) had to break her in.
82hrs this year. Probably will add another 20-25 before Dec when I plan on winterizing. I had about a month's worth of down time this year with a broken axel and two cracked ribs.
put just over 50 on it this year. we have a house on the lake so we don't have to be in the boat all day long, just when boarding, surfing, etc. did the winterizing this weekend so it's done for the year. just to much other stuff going on since school started back. :(
a little over 100 hrs so far- but that's just engine hours. countless hours anchored and swimming, listening to the radio, enjoying beverages etc. When we go to the ski club I probably only put an hour or two engine hours on it, but the boat is kind of a "home base" for the entire day. If I were doing the $/hr calculation (yes I've done it too) I would have to include these hours in the enjoyment calculation.
55 hours so far this year. Still holding out for a few more days.

Our boat is a 1999 and I have 330 hours on it. Granted we use someone elses boat fairly regular. Biggest issues is getting people out there. Over half the time it is jsut me skiing and I have to hunt down a third party for a spotter.
