haha low hours
 

cruising throught the classifieds.. how can a 10 year old formula only have 150 hours? gimme a break. What do people do? Buy it, just look at it, depreciate it, and brag they have a Formula? Makes no sense to me. Not a believer. Drive it like you stole it.

This is accomplished when you can afford the boat but not the gas. Some people think they are like old classic cars and just wash and stare at them. Not me, you said it best:
Drive it like you stole it.

150 hours in 10 years is a really really dumb investment, especially if they're making payments.

every boat is a dumb investment :lolhit:

:lolhit:Yes it is

Not that unusual... Upstate NY we get 50 weeks of winter & 2 lousy weeks of summer.... I've seen many 10 yr old boats with under 200 hours on them....

I got a 85 last year with 300 original hours. NH boat that was racked at the marina and one owner. Guy got to old, and probably just drove 10 min and sat on it every weekend. So far I put 86 hours in 1 full summer.

Bought my 303 last fall with 330 hours; already at ~410 and counting!

Boat still looks brand new, but we USE the hell out of it.

My VR1 has 85 more hours on it since I bought it the second week of March!

mine was 14 ys with 200 hours. This is my 4th year and it will break 500. I don't see the issue with hours, as long as it is maintained. My ztr mower (personal use) has 1750 hours..

Just turned 100hrs in my 2002. Got it in 2008, with 60hrs. I average about 10hrs per season. I use it every weekend that it's not raining. So I get anywhere from 15-25 nice weekends per season.

So far this season I've gotten about 7 weekends in. Plus spent a full week on her in July.

I drive it, just not very far. Where we anchor and hangout isn't far from the dock. 5-10 minute run down the river or across the bay. I don't mind putting gas in her, but I'm not just gonna use it to waste it. I run with a little over half a tank of fuel to keep the weight down, usually lasts me 3-4 weekends.

Bought a new 272 Formula, had it for 10 years and put 200 hours on it.Bought a 10 year old 311 with 800 hours on it.Have the 311 for 10 years now and have put 200 hours on it.Just hit 1000 last week.

I put on average 45 hrs per yr. I bought it with 135 hrs on her and now have 410. I spend about 7K in fuel each summer July-Sept.

I got my 88 311 with 240 hours 2 years ago. It had sat in a rack for 10 years unused.

I have a 1995 (purchased new) with under 100 hours on it and live full time at the Lake of the Ozarks..do I win the stupid prize?

well this is more than possible.... I know a guy who boght a 1998 edgewater with only 70 hours original motor and everything

I have a 2002 370SS for sale with 71hrs. and has been service by us every year. Asking 137,500. sell at 131K there are a lot of low hour
fresh water boats here at the LOTO..

I put 12 hours on the 271 last week in Cape May, Lewes De, Delaware Bay and Wildwood NJ. It is a great boat and a lot of fun for cruising in these conditions. Lot of dolphins around this year. Last week's new moon, heavy current and tides, requires vigilance, especially in the slip or at the ramp. I'll shop LOTO for the next one. Considering a 353 with 525's SC'd.
