How many hours a year?

[NCSUmoomba]

I have had my 2001 Outback for one year as of this coming Thursday, and I have put right at 100 hours on it since I bought it, which puts it right at 200 hours total. I might be able to squeeze 50 more hours out of this season, but with the days getting shorter the afterwork sessions are pretty much done, so it will probably be closer to 25 more. However, I missed out on the beginning of the season because of finishing up college and not having many friends that wakeboarded. I have since remedied these issues, and expect to put at least 150 hours on it next season, unless I end up back in grad school next fall. Its a lot of gas money, but as someone already said, you cannot put a price on the fun times had on the lake.

This months GoBoating addressed the fuel costs.
Essentially, we boaters are willing to pay almost $5 a gallon, only cut maybe 20 minutes of run time off our days (floating on the bar, anchored) at the current price of fuel. And the answer to why was the same as yours.

Delivery of the new Outback was second week in July and we've now got 50 hours on the meter. When we're up at the cottage we average 8-10 hours per weekend. It hasn't just been great for water sports, but also a good cruiser for exploring the Muskoka Lakes region. Sure, it doesn't take the open water waves like the old boat used to, but on those days, we just don't venture too far.

I just can't believe that the season is almost over. Time to go and buy a shorty...

I bought my NEW 05' Mobius LSV in november of 05, but couldn't use it until spring. I live in salem oregon and the spring/summer here is somewhat short. End of april till end of september. I currently have 146 hours on my boat. Talk about some serious use. We wakeboard and wakesurf 3-4 times a week. This boat is awesome!

Thanks Jays. I'm going to check them out, they're just around the corner. That's were I ended up buying a wakeboard.

Our hours are down this year due to other kid activities but we average 60 to 70 per year.

This is my first year with my Outback V so far 27.7 hours. Purchased 4th of July weekend. I expect to have 37 before winter.

well Im stuck @ 70.6 hrs, the weather has been horrible, and as of Last Wednesday a new baby so I have serious doubts that I will hit even 75 hrs this season now..
No complaints.. now the fun really begins.

Hey Dave what did you end up getting for a board?
I checked out your website there looks really cool!
