I am more interested in from people with limited season riding like me. I am in the midwest (Wisconsin) so we boat from around May to Sept. So far we have 96 hours this summer. What do some of you guys do?

I really only use the boat in July and August but my family almost lives in it then.
110 hours last season but only about 90 this year. It's been wetter in BC this year.

~80 so far on one boat ('88 2001 at my home in SE MI), ~40 so far on the other boat ('93 Ski Nautique at my parents' lake house in northern MI)

"160-180?? wow that's a lot! Are you in the midwest?"

Live on a lake in Houston, TX. I don't even ride as much as some of my other neighbors...I have one neighbor with an 06 x-2....right at 700 hours. Most of them are 200+/year

265 last year... about 100 so far this year. With a new baby, I have not had as much time to hit the water. I expect next year to be closer to 200 though.

My guess would have to be 150ish.

I whacked my boat about a month ago but it was about 50 at the time so I would assume I would be at around 70ish by now and ending up with about 85-90 give or take 10

We bought a boat with 120hrs in November, didn't use it more then twice until May and now we go out for at least 5 hours a week if not more, so it has 190 now, so after alot of use we only logged on 70hrs, probably by the end of the season we'll have another 30 on it,

I'm just about 100 for this year so I should finish at about 120 but I push it until dry suit weather up here in Seattle.

So far about 85 on the x-star, 70+ on the pantoon.

250-300 per year here. Arizona weather.

I'm in northern MN.
We have 130 so far this year. (may 3rd, until tonight)

We go until the ice comes, so probably another 75 hours.

Put 40+ hours on the 205, and weve only had it since the fourth of july. 30+ on the four winns before that.

I guess I've put about 80 hours on the boat this year, not too sure home many of them I was on the end of the line though.

I've only put on 40 hours this year, hopefully be over the 60 hour mark after this weekend.

100 hours last year, but only 30 so far this year

reduced hours this year mostly because of weather/wind and schedules
nothing to do with costs

My boat got delivered at the end of May and we have 80 hours on it right now.

(sailing216) · (sailing216) **Join Date: Oct 2007** 08-26-2008, 7:43 AM

I boat pool with 2 other guys so if we used my boat every time I ride I'd be a bit over 100hrs.

Full time job and 4 kids with activities so I think we do pretty good.

Probably put on 80 ourselves May thru end October. That final ride in November doesn't count.

I've had the boat for 1 week and we have put on 20 hrs already :-)

. Planning a big trip the week after laborday and i am sure we will double that. We had our last boat for 1 yr and put 100hr on it.

(cocheese) · (cocheese) **Join Date: Jul 2004** 08-26-2008, 8:30 AM

Bought an '05 21v this November and the boat had 130hrs. Our boat now has 260 hrs. We have used the boat more in one summer that the original owners used in 2 years!

I have the same sort of season. I have had my boat for 3 years now and the hours go....

1st year 104 hrs
2nd year 93 hrs
3rd year (this year) 42 hrs- we've had pretty crappy weather this year and way too many weddings to go to.

(canucked) · (canucked) **Join Date: Jun 2007** 08-26-2008, 9:52 AM

about 50ish in a season, the boat is 98% wakeboarding 2% cruising.

We are looking at potentially our last good weekend coming up :-(
