We would typically splash our boat during the 1st week of May and pull it
out by mid October, logging an average of 60-65 engine hours/year.

Fishing rarely involved trolling.....mainly drifting or at anchor. The
majority of the boat use was to cruise to beaches for swimming while at
anchor and to other ports on Lake Erie including Leamington, Canada and the
Islands. We would also head up to Metro Beach on Lake St. Clair once/year.

How about you?


We generally run about 60 hours on our primary lake (Raystown Lake at
Huntingdon, PA) but the advantage (to us) of having a trailerable boat
is that we also visit other lakes. Last year we put about 30 hours
while on Lake Erie with my brother's family and this year we are working
on an outing to Lake Hartwell or Lake Murray (both in South Carolina).

Travelling is our name of the game !
