Over 600 hours. Primarily on USCG Safety patrols of 8 hours, at least twice
a week. Mostly just at 10-12 knots, a few minutes on plane (15-20 knots) if
going someplace in particular.
Used to take the grandchildren wakeboarding several times a month during the
summer, but with all the patrols and some traveling, didn't get to do much
recreational boating the last couple of years.

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?
