Ive been using my boat like its going out of style. Since memorial day weekend its right at 90 hours so far this summer. I think i will be at 100 or over before the season is over. I sure got my money out of it this year so far. Howmany have all the others put on it? Ive used it every weekend maybe my hour meter is fast seems like alot but it goes from morning till its dark out.

Started the season at 123hrs, was around 155hrs after this weekend, so 32hrs so far with the majority being while pulling a skier.
Looks like 61.5 hours each the past two seasons. |

(8) hours! Isn't that pathetic. I plan on getting more hours soon. It will have a place on a lake the end of next week. No more trailering in and out, unless I want to.

15 hours in one full weekend and two sundays.
Pretty much solid boarding though, probably about a mile of cruising at 15ish in each day on the water. I'm happy with that as I can't afford any more motion lotion and the sun hasn't shone for 15 hours all summer! |

Tomski - too bad we can't trade a little sun for a little rain. What's your average temp? I've read about your climate but not been there.
our lake(lanier near atl georgia) is down over 6 feet(3 meters?) and projected to go lower. I've lived here for more than 20 years and know where the 'black forests are', but many don't and the boat shops will be busier than they are now! accidents will happen too...shivers me timbers! |

oops, forgot the thread...I'd guess 60+ w/o checking my log; even with my trans down this year, but my sweetie likes the water and boats as I do and that helps everything but the gas bill lol
we do get a long ski season here though...march-november with only a shorty at the beginning and end...I do know a couple of guys who go all year with a dry suit lanier is bath water right now...82 degress |

Looking at 35-40 so far. Two week long vacations always helps. I would rather run it than preserve it on the trailer.
The guy before me ran it 110 hours/yr. Ski club boat. |

Buffalo, I'm not sure what the average temp is, if I'm spending all day in the boat then I'll wear a long summer wetsuit - but I am a bit soft so could probably get away with a shorty.
We certainly have plenty of water - lots of flooding just about everywhere in the last month or so. I'm hoping we'll have an indian summer as the lake district is beautiful at that time of year, not mention early morning and late evening butter. Next time I'm out I'll get some pics of the boat and the scenery. The sun is shining now, but I'm in the office!! |

Maybe 3 hours this summer
 Between upgrading a house to flip and the record rainfall in the area this summer, no time/chance to get on the lake. Only had the boat out once this year. In fact, I have not even bothered to track down the screeching noise coming from the engine. Tore down the raw water pump and that is how it sits on my work bench. Double ugh!

A little over a hundred hrs. so far this year. Just tweeked my MCL at a tournament last weekend so that could slow me down a couple months. Should be able to hit 150-160 before Xmas.

When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded.

Wow, you guys are serious! My wife and I have been out almost every weekend and sometimes once during the week.....probably haven't put more than 15 hours on! Both of our wakeboarding boys are grown and not around much...guess we spend more time socializing, swimming and, uh, well, drinking and eating. Haven't skied this year...but, youngest son is coming home from L.A. soon to visit, should put some serious wakeboarding hours! At least we're spending alot of time in the boat, that's the main thing.

Something like 30-40 so far this year. I can count the times I've skied behind our '88 so far this season on one hand. However, if I added up my own skiing hours it'd probably be close to 250.

Nate, that is since New Years Day. The good part of living down here is that you can be out year round. That's so cool.
You take a few days of cruising the chain (before the water levels got so low) and then ski sessions on weekends and after work once daylight saving kicks in, it doesn't take too long rack up a few hours. |

I have 1 hour on my boat this year, approx. 30 minutes was Tim and Brad tweaking the float. I have approximately 35 hours on my boat since May 2004 and two replacement engines. Heading up to Correct Craft today and will hopefully be towing it home. Haven't seen it since June.
The good news is that I'm fortunate to have logged in hours of skiing with Brad, Tim and on one occasion Keith. I also spent time with my buddy Jeff and Yves, Three Seasons Ski Club, Natick, MA. Ken |

Damn Ryan! How are you getting all that time in?
I have put about 60 hours on my meter since I picked it up last fall. I try to get out at least once every weekend. |

Wow nice to see some other people rackin up into the 100's. I flipped 100 this weekend and did some serious skiing due to the weather not being to good and the water being glass after the rain when everyone else was still in their cabbins. Gotta get that glass when you can.
