No hour meter on ours but it is 24 years old and around 80 to 100 hours a season so therefore lots of hours !!!!

87 boat and motor so with no hour meter I don't know. I am the third owner and the other two were on a very small lake. Judging from that and the condition of the boat and motor I'd say pretty low for it's age.

Hey...no hour meter on mine. But just bought an hr meter so I can see how much I'm using the boat. Have not hooked it up yet, but I bought the kind that wrapps around the spark plug wire and picks up the signal. Hope it works... Last year I had about 40 days from may 26th til the last week of oct.

Hoping for another good season!

Default Re: How many houres on your Doral ?

Last Friday after work we went boating. Meet up with 3 other boats and up to downtown Ottawa we went. About an 1h15min drive. The river was like a mirror and we had it all to ourselves. Docked besides my friends father where he was waiting for us on his new 52' Cruisers Yatch. Wow! Chitchated on his boat for a while then we went to a restaurant. Sleep on the boats like babies since it was nice and cool.

Talk about starting the weekend in style. I was able to put 9 hours on the meter by Sunday.


p.s. Started this season with 66 hours which I did last summer.
