How many Hours

[KonaKing]

How many hours did you get last year? for myself it was 124

[dogbert]

200+

[da.bell]

I'm not even going to go here.... I'm too embarrassed to admit that it's not looking good. :( Let me say that I have 72 hours on the boat and had the boat for two season. :o he he he

Do you get to multiply that or divide it between you two boat?:D

[da.bell]

Well, if you count the hours that I spend on other people's boats, then I am sure to have 120+ :D But again, the new RZ2 probably has 2-3 hours on it and the 24Ve has 72... :D

That doesn't count.

[da.bell]

That doesn't count.

you SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D he he he

[zad0030]

IM not sure but Im going to guess 75-100+

Total, Im creeping in on 300

[larryueckert]

third summer and i have 61 hrs most of them are from idle.

[Matt Garcia]

I think mine was around 130. I usually alternate between several boats as well.

[mcd]

300+ in 6 seasons. Gotta budget the vacation time a little better.

[shake-n-bake]

I got around 150.

[eks]

60 on the 22V2005 and
20 on the RZ2

[chpthril]

70+ for the first season, and 100+ for the 2nd season. We were on track to break 200 but lake dried up and they closed all the ramps.

Gas prices will probably slow us down some this season :mad: may not even do 100hrs :(

[quick]

100 from mid July when I bought the boat until Sept. I should get way more this season since it already started for me!

[dogbert]

Excuses, excuses. We had the opposite problem where we had too much water and they closed all the ramps.

BTW, what kind of insurance agent are you? Mine never works and is always playing. :D :D

Kind that lets the wife work the business, so I can play all day :ro: :D :cool:


Allstate :ro:

[Ks]

85 hours total.

79 from the 22VE and 6 hours on the RZ2

You are still breaking it in... Sweet! :ro:

[KonaKing]

less work = more hours on boat pick up the pace this year

[dogbert]

Allstate :ro:

I know, I want to be a State Farm agent when I retire.

So, only 100 hours with all that play time...let me guess, she owns the boat and you're just along for the ride (kinda like da.bell)? :D :D

[rensink]

80-90

[dogbert]

You are still breaking it in... Sweet! :ro:

Really, in car terms, that's not even to your first oil change.

Of course I should talk...my boat's only got like 650 hours on it and it's 9 years old. My kids were really little when we bought it so there wasn't a whole lot of boarding happening. Now that they're older, we've probably put over 400 hours on it in the last couple of years, even with the haitus in the summer of 2006 where one of my kids was out with a serious injury. :eek:

Life's too short not to pile up the hours on your Tige!

[KonaKing]

I know I can post a personal best this year if only the weather would cooperate

She let's me drive her around the lake :D :ro:

[dogbert]

Hmmm, my wife hardly ever comes along so it's just me and the kids...what does she do with all that free time :eek:

[chpthril]

My wife loves to be out as much as I do, just don't ask her to drive :D

[Timmy!]

I think we got ~95 hours this past year. First time in the lake was mid May and only went out once after Labor day, so kind of a short season around here.

[illiniboarder88]

This is my first year with an inboard and an hour meter. Last summer we put about 110 hours on one friend's boat and 130 on another. The one with 130 is slightly skewed bc it was left running sometimes to keep the stereo going. I'm hoping to put around 70-75 on mine this summer, and probably close to the same on another. We'll probably ski and barefoot behind one and wakeboard behind the other.

[Studman]

I'd say 400+ 06 20v I think that it has closer to 450. But its dark and im not walking outside to look at my hour meter lol. Oh yah I forgot to say we trailer our boat (no house on a lake for me).

[Costigan]

I was gone all summer and only took it out 3 times. I need to make up for it this year. If only it would quit snowing.

[talltigeguy]

100 per year is pretty decent for me.

Gas prices won't stop me from going, but I may reconsider just actually learning to use skill and decrease the ballast.

I got a buddy aiming to get a decent boat this year...I hope then to be able to split up my hours. I have one buddy that has a Supreme 232...but I can't stomach the thought of wakeboarding behind it, so I always volunteer my boat. He never offers me a dime for gas, I guess he figures he is doing me a favor by being the 3rd guy.

Shake,
Are you up for any early Wednesday morning wakeboarding once it warms a little?

[ragboy]

185 for us, going for 200 this year. It would be more, but INT weekends, you sit on the shore and watch someone else tow your kids.

I am getting antsy, I should have my boat back with new tower next weekend. I should have pictures of it monday.

Awesome to hear that you are getting back into things... Is there another movie in the making this year? I really liked the one you did last year...

Maybe we should start a school :D

How may newbs did you get going last year?

[ragboy]

I am just crazy busy with a couple of new contracts. Enough to keep me from posting as much, but it won't keep me off the water.

We've noticed :(

I don't know, at least 10. We have several families that came to visit last year, and a new one probably coming up this year.

[Jason B]

I only got 15 hours. I started in late August though, so I get a bit of a pass. If we are not boarding I NEVER volunteer to take my boat, I always weasel a friend to bring thiers if at all possible. They don't hesitate to return the favor if they wanna board ;) The lakes around here that are party places are soooo shallow it makes me really nervous not being able to trim up--they can. One lake in particular where the most fun is averages about 5 ft deep.

If it doesn't stop snowing here I may not start until August again this year:D

[Jason B]

10 including my family, 6 without us. 2 are boat shopping right now!!!!!!!!!!!!:ro: :ro: :ro:

[buffman]

0 hours as I didnt own a boat last year ;)

[da.bell]

lol

[Micah]

My 2003 22V that I bought last summer has 90 hours total. We accumulated 20 of those last summer. But we able to introduce the sport of Wakesurfing to at least 12 new people. 3 of them turned into die hards that go every week with me.

better then me, I didn't even get 5 on mine last yr.

[shake-n-bake]

Tall

That sounds real tempting, I might be able to make that happen, but Im not quite sure what my schedule will be.

[ragboy]

Wow, how come so few?

[zad0030]

Wow, how come so few?

He was too busy stalling on his stereo install:D

[loudelectronics]

I put 80 on the Tige and about 20 on the bayliner until we got the tige.

[Razzman]

I put about 20 last year, did spend a lot of the year on a buddies boat as surf ballast though. :cool: Boat has just over 820 hours on it now if i remember, but then it does have the distinction of being the oldest boat on here too! :D

[dogbert]

Wow, how come so few?

He was busy adding copper ballast.

[chpthril]

^^^ LOL, Dom's boat would be a copper thief's dream :D

[thtrog]

Got the used 22i just before Memorial Day last year - we put 115 hours on it, but should do more this year since we started our season last weekend.

[mtnsmith]

We bought our 2005 22v in june of 2006, we just rolled 300 hours. I put about 50 hours on my flats boat this year, and I have spent about 7 full weeks on the water since september doing field work for my job, in rental boats and fed boats.
