if someone is keeping a spreadsheet, i starting last week at 743 hours. i plan on installing flux capacitors on both engines and using the boat a LOT this year. by november, when we put the boat away, i should be down to 500 hours or less.

The ones that run on uranium, or the ones that run on garbage?

garbage, of course. gonna head back in time and pick up some cheap gas.

Yeah and to buy microsoft at $19/share.

I alwys get burned with estimates made by engineers....

You guys are whimps - measuring hours. You should be measuring gallons of gas used...

2gph x #hrs = gallons of fuel.

Or in my case, 24GPH...

Does that mean you are going to give me a 10x weighting factor?

I'm not an engineer YET! :-p

Is that old post still around???

Semper Fi 75

This post.

Is this strictly hours on the boat, or is it hours on the water?

Engine hours 2Suns. Just sitting on your boat at the dock doesn't a boater make! (Or sitting at anchor or beached.)

So someone that runs up and down the river all day is more of a "boater" than someone who swings on the hook and plays in the water all day?

Correct. Although I would give points if the person on the hook, actually set the hook properly.
