How many hours did you put on this year

[RFoster130]

I am contemplating going ahead and winterizing the boat. I dont see any chance of getting it out any time soon and have a new baby coming next month. So i need to get it ready for the winter.

Ive had a really busy summer and only had it out 2 times the whole summer. I'm guessing i only put about 5 or 6 hours on it actually running. Just curious how many hours other people have racked up this year. I know someone mentioned last week that they went through 12-15 gallons of oil. Thats nuts. I wish i could use 1/4 of that.

I have no idea. Was out almost every weekend all summer.

Probably only did 30 hr's this year. (Gay)

I got about 25 hours on my RXT-X and about 12 hours on the GSX-L. I am not about to pack it in though. I rode until late October last year, so hopefully the weather allows for that again this year.

56hrs. on both ski's, 32 on the GTI 24 on the XP, so far, not done yet, I hope. Been out almost every weekend, started 2nd. week in April.

My fuzzy math would be the best I can come up with.

3-Gallons of Quicksilver Premium Plus
2.5 tanks of gas per gallon
7.5-tanks of gas, on a merc would be a healthy number of hours I would say. We had a good summer!
Fall river fishing is just starting!!
This 16.5lb Cat was caught last Friday night!!

Good catch...what did you do with it?

biggest thing I caught was a clump of weeds on my boat anchor.......LOL

Does anyone know the cost of the Seadoo PWC anchor and it's weight?

 

[biffdotorg]

We catch and release catfish. Although we have been told that the 2-5lb fish are great eating. We don't catch too many under 5lbs. The big ones this time of year are between 10-20lbs!!

I am guessing you are referring to the folding, 4-pronged anchor? They are super light. I had one for my Yamaha, and it was more of something you had to dig into the bottom with and hope it held. It worked in many situations though.

I wish i could get out as much as some of you guy. Ive only put about 25 hours on the boat in the 3 years ive owned it.

I'm ashamed to say I've only put on about 8 hours this summer ....hopefully I'll be back in the water in the upcoming weeks, putting on a wetsuit and getting in at least another 8 b4 it's really too cold

In my first yr of owning a PWC I have logged in about 40 hrs and still going. High 80s to low 90s here in temp. and I hope I can get another 2 wknds in before winterizing.

Bunch of slackers. From Memorial Day until now I've put ~65 hours on the skis. Got my RXT-X July 8th with 60 hours, it now has 92.
The rest are on my GTX. Both are still at the shorehouse (yes, I can only ride them on weekends) and will be used again in 2 weeks.

I don't have an hour meter on the boat, but being out at the cottage every weekend. With two weeks off ... i could easily say 65 hrs. Since spring I've been through 8 jugs of oil. On my GTI i've put 8 hours on it (not all me though).

I'm likely to be winterizing this weekend or next. I just don't get out much when sept comes.

I have about 3 minutes. Wife was pregnant then I forgot spare plugs and one fouled on me. But it is full of gas and oil!!

So that's why it looks mint!!! :thumbsup:

 

[Coastiejoe]

The easy answer is NOT ENOUGH....
I think I put on about 5 to 7 hours is all...

I am not putting them away just yet. I own several wetsuits and plan on getting out there still...

Yep. I found it in good shape. It was on ebay and the previous owner lived on a small lake in PA and had only put 5 hours on it in 10 years.
