Bummer, sorry to hear.

I think yesterday was my last day out this year, 53 hours this summer.

Down this year. Only about 20 hours or so this year, 40 hours last year, 100 hours the year before, but that was after 10 and 0 hours the previous two years.

All good I guess lol. Been the worst year for me by far. We were gonna do a lunch run to DYC today. Good thing I caught it cause it would have been a long idle back with no steering haha.

Identical to us. Ski boat at least 40-50 hours so far. Fish boat about 20 hours. 42 Fountain? 0 this summer.
These are approx. engine hours. The total outings have been much longer.

Yes I'm talking engine hours also. Time spent on the water is way more than that! An hour on the engines usually means 8-10hours on my liver! :lolhit:

Keep boat in side yard, live 1 block from ramp. The workers at ramp give me tickets for over use of ramp (as a joke). My wife is a boating nut, July and Aug. we are out 5 to 6 times a week.


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 03:51 PM.
