Less this year because I've been with my girlfriend a few nights a week, and she wont stay on the boat during the week, but last year, I was on the boat 7 days a week from June until November.

I try to go once a week but my transom is being replaced. Should be back on the water by the weekend though!

Re: How often do you use your boat during boating season?

We have up to this point been out every weekend on either Saturday or Sunday or both (most often both days) since April 14th. That was on the old Glasspar, (just sold it - gave up on the project) and got our new Mariah. Now come to find out she will need a little work so I will be off the lake at least the next 2 weeks, maybe all of Aug. :(

Southern New England and we are out 3-4 times a week. Some are dinner cruises. Some are sunset rides. Weekends to Martha's Vineyard. Onto the trailer and off to Sebego lake in Me or Lake George NY. We boat. It's what we do. 120-150 hours per season.

Re: How often do you use your boat during boating season?

I'm 7 hours away from my boat and summer place On Lake of The Woods in Northern Minnesota (on Canadian border) My wife and I both work in schools, so we try and make it up there for a few weeks at a time and every other weekend at-least. It's still not enough. We love walleye fishing and the bite has been great. Unfortunately, (or fortunately) our boat is being re-powered with a brand new 4.3 and a fully enclosed cooling system on it, so we won't have it ready for the water for at-least another couple of weeks. :facepalm:

Our boat is at the dock at our door and in the weather we've had this year we go out in it for a short cruise or swim pretty much every day around 5 pm.

Man I wish I had someone to help me get started catching walleye. I've caught one this season. I catch the hell out of other fish though!

Since I live on the lake, we are out there almost every night for 2 hours. Weekends we are out there from 12noon til dusk. Great way to live in my opinion.

How I envy some of you guys...!

I'm good for about a total of 15 to 25 hours a summer - 2 to 4 launches.

I'm fortunate enough to live in a place where I can boat virtually year round. Try to do so every Sunday, rain or shine.

Every weekend all year long (depending on weather and work--which ends up being about 40 times a year)
