I was wondering how many hours you guys have put on your boats this year so far

i got a new wakesetter in march, started using it in april and its already got over 70 hours on it

we've been to the lake every weekend mid-april and boat and its starting to bother me that its go so many hours on it,
we normally do about 100hrs a year and i'm already over 70 and its still june

the bad part about it is i have only went on the weekends i used to go every weekend and at least one day a week, but i haven't been during the week at all this year, i'm starting to wonder if my hour meter is broke

250/yr is a nice round number.

200-250 yr is about right.
the more hrs the better your boat will perform.

yeah, you just see all these boats for sale that are like 2-3 years old and they have 40-80 hours on them

YUP those are people that buy a boat THINKING they will use it and find out is cost $$ to go out every wkend. Those are good buys if they are not in bad shap

...or you get 3 months of summer

I am able to put about 50 hours on my boat each year.

This year I have been out 5 days due to crap weather.

I've got 269 hours on our 05 V215, thats only because of my crazy deployment cycle for the last 3 years.

I put 75 hours on my boat in 2 months last summer and have almost put 100 hours on it so far this summer with starting in late april. I recently tore my ACL so I won't be going out as much only to pull my friends around while I drive, but in the end I would rather put on more hours than let it sit around and not get used.

For Michigan summers, about 100 hours per year is pretty standard for us.

Two months and our boat has 52 hours.What drives me crazy is you can't turn the hour screen off and Im forced to look at it.
