On all previous boats, about 100 per year while offshore fishing with motor idling all day. Took up inshore, about 6 hours in the past year. At anchor, no motor running!
No hour meter and we troll mostly, but on the gps we average about 1200 miles a year. That includes running to our fishing spots which may be 18 miles away.
After putting around 300 hours of work into my boat rebuilding pretty much everything I probably only put 20-30 hrs of running time with one overnighter. Spent probably 10 nights in it tied up at the dock at a friends camp but it seemed like this summer we couldn't put the beers down long enough to sober up to actually go boating.
On the bright side at least we were responsible enough to not drink and drive
next year there will be more boating because we won't be spending 10 weeks rebuilding. It is turn key now
