cbudweiserc Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Just curious how much use others get out of their boat? I bought my B52 the week before memorial, it was down 2 weeks for broken drive shaft and I'm sitting at 102 hours. I surely wasn't going to buy something this expensive to let it look pretty in the driveway. So what did you guys rack up on the hour meter? selshahsamand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Smeltzer Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I have had my boat 2 years and have less than 100 hours. Damn oilfield(or sons travel baseball team) and being gone all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteeleWake Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Had it 2 months, just got it back from 100 hour service! allzway, selshahsamand and DatTexasBoy 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidnightMax Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I have about a week left in my season and should be right around 70 hours for the summer which I think is pretty good considering I didn't get my boat in the water until mid July. selshahsamand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsmobiledriver Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 First year was weak, the last two were better. I'm around 210 and have maybe a month left depending on what my wife and testicale can handle lol mbalsiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatTexasBoy Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Put 130hrs on mine this year. Picking up new boat today. Shooting to put 50 more before December. selshahsamand and MBofTexas 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawndoggy Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Mine was kinda weaksauce. usually do about 100 and this year was 80ish. I guess I could've still put on a few more hours but I'm trying to get it into sellable shape right now (lol, cleaning up the imperfections for the new guys that I'm totally willing to live with myself), so my "boating" for the past couple weekends has been detailing, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demo9asx Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 Another season with 100hrs so yeah got my money's worth and spent a lot of money on gas Shawndoggy and selshahsamand 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I am coming in just over 50 which is good for us. Started the kiddos wakeboarding too so that number should grow from here on out!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve142 Posted September 20, 2014 Report Share Posted September 20, 2014 I took delivery of mine the day after Christmas and have 45 hours on the clock. Hope to put more on this summer, all depends on MidnightV10's drilling skills, hope it still floats when he's done.....lol mbalsiger, oldsmobiledriver and The Donfather 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawndoggy Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 DTB I've seen a couple of others that were close to yours but ooooohhhh so far. Keeping the nose and the hull black totally completes the look. I'm not sure I could rock all black but that is one fine looking example right there.

teamcougars Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Got ours at the end of May, checked today and have 110 hours on it. I think we've gotten our moneys worth so far this season. We will see what the Fall and Winter bring in use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBofTexas Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Is getting your moneys worth directly related to hours used. I have had a 13 F21 and 14 F22. We put many hours on both, however, if I calculate what it cost per hour it would make me sick. The way I judge "moneys worth" is the memories we are making with our 7 and 11 year old boys and friends.

Or just soaking up the sun reading a book or even snoozing. MidnightMax, DatTexasBoy and Hartley 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or just soaking up the sun reading a book or even snoozing. This is most of my trips now being our good riding spot never filled with water. The local lakes are great but power turning, tubers & surfing don't make the 1 hour track up the mountain worth it. I'm pretty sure I have used my boat more in Powell this year then here local. 3rd season and rocking 148 hours on the MB... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingMatyas Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Only logged 34 hours since I go tit new in May, but I have a shitton of memories. Money well spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
