I run in my 6 month season about 60 hours each engine. Mostly cruise locally to my harbor and a couple trips around 90 miles a year up and down lake Michigan's eastern shore.

I can walk down the dock and most boats I see won't even have 5 hours put on them . I will guarantee I am in the top 5 of power boats being used ay my marina . and in the top 5 of all the boats if you do not count all the sail boats that head south every year. used to be the average boater put 100 a year on . bet its a lot less now . bet its closer to 25. Dock queens bring the numbers way down.
