Does the lake test count on the hours meter? Im sure its minimal if anything, but I was just curious how many hours are on a "new" boat.

most will come with anywhere from .3 to .5 hours on them.

Maybe that is the reason so many have so many problems with new boats at first. 20 minutes is barely long enough to fill and drain the ballast on a lot of boats much less check for any problems.

What do they do, drop it in the water and say "yep it floats?"
