Hours Per Season

[Skiingstrongman]

How many hours are you guys putting on the boat per year? It seems like most of us are in northern climates and most everyone here tows. I'm just curious what do people average?

Last year I took delivery Labor Day weekend and put 18 hours on before it got pulled October 15th. This year I think I'll be around 75 hours for the full season but time will tell. I'm also in a slip so we go out for short rides on a whim because it's as quick as pulling the covers and running the blower a few minutes. My boss also loves the boat so I have some sway for lunch time meetings on the water

I average 50 hours year

If I got 10-15 in the past, I'd be thrilled.
At 23, son is now able to run our business, so I'm hoping around 20-25 this summer.

We are between 25-35. Depends on our vacations we take. Less kids to tow around so hours are getting less. Hoping for a good year this summer. We used to do 50 about ten years ago.

Last year was first full season in the water with this boat - I did around 40. My kids are little though, I fully expect that # to go up to 50 this year.

I bought my boat with 39 hours and two years later have 140 hours..averaging 50 hours per year.

I average 61 per year with my 232. I trailer to one lake exclusively which is an hour from home. For me, usage depends of weather conditions (pretty weekends), girlfriend status, and jet ski usage. I purchased a Yam GP 1800 ski this year, and I've taken it to the lake twice already. I try to take the boat on the weekends and the ski weekdays sue to heavy lake usage on the weekends. The new ski tops out at a true 75 MPH and does 0 - 60 in about 4 seconds. It's both fun and a bit insane.

Sounds like a fun rocket to ride.

10 so far... I'm up to 48!

Who's driving the boat?? Haha

It's just naturally following that cc launch in to lunch.
