Now that summer is wrapping up, how many hours did you put on your boat???

[Jordy]

I picked mine up after Memorial day and was out pretty much every Saturday and Sunday with the exception of the weekend after Catalina Ski Race (2 straight weekends on the ocean with 4th of July) and a couple weekends in the shop. :smile:
So far I've put better than 50 hours on the engines and I'm sure there will be another 15 or so before things are all said and done this season. To me that's a great summer. What did everyone else rack up??? :D

[Riverkid]

Not near enough... Another almost no-boating year like this one and I'll prolly sell it... Your boat looked good in the big blue Catalina weekend though... :D

[Tom Brown]

5 hours. That's a great summer for me. :)

[My Man's Sportin' Wood]

5 hours. That's a great summer for me. :)
So that's not bad. What is that? one hour for each day of summer you have up there? :D
My answer is . . . not enough.

[Kilrtoy]

58 or so hours,
But damn the channel to moabi only takes 12 or so mintues,
on not so busy weekends and 10 on not regular weekends.
Thats why only 58 hours..........since feb...

[Boy Named Sue]

I didn't even blow mine up.

Ours doesn't have an hour meter, so I really don't know.

[dego red]

Oh man, this summer sucked for boat time, I usually put about 100 hrs on for the season, but this year so far has been about 3. WTF. Out once....

Wow, mine must take like 10 or less to get there. :idea: :D

[HOOTER SLED-]

Maybe 1 hour. Seriously.

[Cole1313]

I have had the new boat for three weeks and have put 25 hours on her.

[INSman]

Pretty good summer at 80+ :)

[BigDogIvan]

about 30 minutes. in the water an hour and a half. Travel time to sugaro about 50 miles round trip. 2 sets of bearing buddies, gone. :mad: To discover the brake rebuild has hub/rotor issues and the company that the parts were purchased from in Slidel LA. :cry:
Oh and the trip to Saguaro, time in water discovered bellows leak that needs replaced before hitting the water again. :cry:
BD

[Kindsvater Flat]

About an hour.....

[rrrr]

I think about 20 hours on our '04 Chaparral 256, a big bowrider. So far this year I haven't done much with our Howard flattie, mebbe 2 hours,
Fonda has taken her jet boat out a couple of times, perhaps another 4 hours.
Uh, what this means is we leave the ramp, park, and party...... :D :D

[rivergoer]

man i put soooo many hours on my boat a wopping 0...hahaha thats what 9 months in japan will do to your boating season :frown: :yuk:

[mickeyfinn]

On the old Baja ski boat 102 hours. On the Hondo 18 hours. Thats a pretty good summer. But we start just cruising around when the temp hits 65 sometime in March and will keep going until sometime in November. :wink:

[24ROD]

Kind of an off year for us 10Hrs = Way to many projects at home, and to much work during the summer. I got 10 days coming up in Parker, so maybe 20 Hrs when I get done. :)

[Kachina26]

Maybe 5 :( Building a house sux! I still have a few months left this year.

[bilgewiper]

So far about 15 on the Lavey, 20 on the Polaris, and about 30min (running at the dock only) on the Gibson Houseboat. The houseboat hasn't left the dock for 13 months. I know I have to go run the 2 year old gas out of it before putting fresh in this fall but it's so boring to drive.

[DEMOMAN]

Picked boat up June 25 of 04. Turned 130 hrs last weekend. Not to bad.

[Mardonzi]

95 here,,, We spent too much time on the bike this summer,, But our season isn't over... and we are still going strong,,,,

[mondorally]

1/10th........ In my driveway. Dammit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[LAVEYSABRE575]

Maybe 30 hrs. I stayed up by the springs most of the time lots of horseshoes.....

[Froggystyle]

2.4... but I am not done yet!

[andy01]

26 Hours for me since mine was delivered in March.
Oh and 10 of those hours were put on the weekend of the Poker Run/ Offshore races.
Andy

[Daytona100]

Maybe 20 hours then Blew it up Memorial day at elsinore. Should have it running in time to put it away for next year. Shitty boating season this year for me. :umm:

[nodigg]

NOT ENOUGH! Slowest summer yet. Still have some time left though. :D

[maxwedge]

About 4. The last being sometime in early July. The next being in about 45min.. yee-haw :rollside:

[TCHB]

This past summer we put on 70 and maybe another 20 before November.

[JetBoatRich]

Never enough :messedup: seems like summer flies by :burningm:

[riverroyal]

about 70 to 75,all smiles,every hourhttp://www2.***boat.com/image_center/data/500/2371DSC00391.JPG

[charitycase]

I didn't even blow mine up.
I did.3 F"N times :cry:

[Dusty Times]

Not near enough!
My hour meter still says I have a new boat :hammer2:

[SHAKE-YO-AZZ]

58 or so hours,
But damn the channel to moabi only takes 12 or so mintues,

MUST OF THE TIME THAT MINI ME OF BOAT WAS BROKE AND YOU HAD THE HATCH OFF OR THE CRAWLINGS OFF :boxingguy

[Wonderboy]

Got the new boat in August. Put 35 hours on it. I'm sure at least another 10 or so will be on it before the season is up.

[JB in so cal]

114 since 7/30/04 and with the exception of a bad starter, trouble free

[Mrs. HOOTER SLED]

Not even enough!!!!!!!!!!! :angry2:

[HCS]

Usually about 50. This year 20. :( Because I'm not out chasing butt all the time, because I'm a family man, I had trouble finding people to go.
Not too many people want to hang on the river, ski, and drink beer. :confused:

[BajaMike]

I think only about 25 to 30 hours....never made it to the river once....most of those hours are idleing in Dana Point harbor.
Hoping for 3 or 4 Mojave trips in October..... :2purples:
:2purples:

[bordsmnj]

about 20-30 all of it testing. accept for last trip when it ran the whole time. thats not even half of a normal season.but it aint over yet :D only two g river trips this year?!?! wtf! :p i gotta get on it.

[Ultrafied]

Almost 50 hrs, but the season won't stop for me. I love riding at Havi in the winter. No lake lice, no other boats ... a little chilly. :D

[hotlavey]

Only about 20 for me. Very slow year, hard to get folks together to go. I only average around 30/ year so not too far off that figure. Boat is going into storage next week so I'm done for the year.

[SHAKEN Not Stirred]

I'm a looser !!!!!
Only 48 from March to now!!!.....
Wait....I still have time RIGHT!!!!!
OK...I'm good....
Later...

;)

[moneysucker]

Maybe 2 hours on mine this year, I was pushing it to get ready for Freeboard challenged and Missed it, then went on the water that weekend and lost a lifter. Turned out the lifter roller bearings took out everything else. I decided that I would punish the boat by making it sit out for the season. So there I showed it. Now I am making it go in the salt water to further punish it for breaking. :hammer2:

[Just Tool'n]

about 8 hours so far, only 4 times up to the lake. My season started in august, but hey I have at least 25 hours working on it this year so far.
I thought I was the only person on the boards that did not put many hours on this summer. Glad I am not alone here!

[Kim Hanson]

3hrs on the OB and about 20 on the v-drive, don't start with the ob either! The v-drive pulls tubes better :crossx: ...........( . )( . ).........We never had a summer this year ask Tom, it sucked up here for heat ( WARM WEATHER )........it did get into the 30's but when you are working it's not much good now is it! :(

[SCUBA STEVE]

About 10 so far :( But I will be out this Thursday and the weekend of Oct.8th. :p Then it will be time to break out the bikes
My last trip to CA for the year and you are not going to be around? :hammerhea
About 8 on mine but 50+ on everyone elses boats! We did a lot of boat bitching this year. :cool: :wink:

[river chaser]

about <10 hours :frown:
With the gas prices we spent more time at poolside than riverside :cool:
Well I guess 1 oil change was only necessary this year :D

[mike37]

not near enough maybe 10 to busy and my family has a very different woke schedule now
so its harder to get out

[surfer2001]

160 hrs. last year, 20 this year. First big trip it was 125 degrees, & that took all the wind out of my sails. Next trip, 1 month later, we had 11 twenty something kids, non-stop smoking & drinking, they had lots of $$ for cigarettes & beer, but no money for food & gas. Two bad trips made me want to stay home and surf. (by myself) Then I come out this weekend & find my Seadoo’s have been stolen. Yep I’m over it. got me thinking of getting out. might turn this place into a rental.

[teamyamahamike]

PICS BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYOTCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am working on that just cant do it here yet I need more schooling on hb :220v:

[cola]

I didn't check. The boat is just over 2 years old and has 235hrs. It's been a lot of fun, but I think I will ride my bikes more this winter. Today was a great day on the bike. :D
Late, Mike

[Chico&Zeus]

About 15, we usually bee line it straight from 10 lane to Humbug, don't cruise it much...maybe to the marina for dinner, the most driving we do is at Apache lake because it's about 10 miles from the campsite to Party Cove.

[SmokinLowriderSS]

We are at about 18 to 20, which is double waht she got used to under dad's foot in the past years. Summer still has a few weeks here so maybe a few more.

[jbtrailerjim]

Not enough. :frown: I've only put about 15 hours on it so far this season. I plan on getting a couple of more trips though before the season is up.

[Dave C]

35 hours. but I've been to the lake quite a few times.
some of you guys are pros! :D
I must spend too much time sitting in one place and not enough time driving. :D

[Jyruiz]

20 hours so far, but I will be out there till early Nov, so who know by then.

[Infomaniac]

We just cracked 100 hours total time this weekend in the Ultra. It is a 2001 model we bought in 2002 with 18 hours.

[Biglue]

About 40 hours.

[Steamin' Rice]

About 40 hours so far, but I'll put a few more on this weekend..... :cool:

[sorry dog]

5 hours. That's a great summer for me. :)
...and that converts to 2.8 US hours...but still not bad considering you had to fight those kill switch problems part of the way through the season.

[Throttle]

102!!!
