400 hours in 13 years. Started out about 100 per year, now about 25. 1973 gallons the first year to 580 last year. Gas isn't why I don't go out as much, life is. Always something going on be it work or play, or crap weather!

Every weekend rain or shine (Friday evening through Sunday) from April 1st through end of September and October will depend on weather.

Used to put 75 - 100 a year back in the 90's. Down to 30 - 40 a year now. Only 20 so far this year due to getting a late start because of an engine rebuild and multiple boat outings on other's boats. The day I track fuel usage is the day I sell!

We usually do 40-50 hrs. per summer boating mid-May to September and we are one the water almost every weekend but this year only hit about 35 we lost all of August due to moving our son to school and a relocation to Grand Rapids. As for fuel we boat on a large lake system and run a lot usually burning 50-75 gallons in two days.
