How many hours did you run this season?

[fasttrucker]

I kept a log book this year of my donzi boating fun in 2003.Looks like I went out 18 times.Two times in june.5 times in july.5 times in august.3 times in sept.3 times in october.For a total of 41.9 engine hours.Looking back at 2003 I had a great summer,but Iam curious?How many hours did other donzi net site users put on their donzis in 2003? :cool:

[McGary911]

I probably logged about 20 hours. Damn job that allows me to buy my Donzi, keeps me from using it. Damn irony.......

That 20 hours probably added 2 years to my life tho. :p

More to come this spring\summer\fall!!!...........

[Cuda]

I put 30 on the 302, about the same on the 242, and probably 30 or so on the fish boat.

[HyperDonzi]

18 Times was May. I was at 100 in September, kinda lost track after that, would say maybe another ten.

[KISSaholic4life]

I didn't get my Sweet 16 until Oct 30th, so I haven't had a chance to put any hours on it frown

[MOP]

A tad over 9 most of which was at the 1000 Island run. Boo Hoo! Like most I can afford the boat Uh boats but work to damn much!

[GEOO]

25 hours in 2003. In 1996 I put 143 hours in one season :) Boy, how things change.

[Barry Phillips]

I put on 34 hours since Memoral Day.

SO-SLO

[Air 22]

70 hours for 2003. Still running here in NC 75F today. :D but 50F in a few days...gotta enjoy it while we can... wink

[DON N.]

AROUND 25 HOURS, I DIDN'T USE THE 18' 2+3 AT ALL. SO I GOT A GOOD OFFER AND SOLD IT .

[Ed Donnelly]

4 hrs. Thats double the hours I put on her in 2002.. :) :) ..Ed

[penbroke]

About 30 engine hours this summer. Put 47 on the mower.

Frank :confused:

[KRAVEN]

Aproxmiately 25hrs per season boat currently has 76hrs on her. :cool:

[Trueser]

We put on over a 100 hours.

Life is short. You should use your Toys!!!!!!

Mike

That must be a fast Mower?

[Islander]

Since mid April when I bought the boat(a '78/18')I've logged 85 engine hours. All in all it's been the most enjoyable boat I've owned.

[Team Hula Girl]

Probably 300 hours or so. It would be close to 350 hours but I havent had my boat since October 6th. It is currently at Donzi getting some repairs. I hope I get it back soon, it was close to 80 degrees today. I am going through withdraws not having my boat. Any snowbirds want me to keep their classic running through the winter season? Maybe I should just break down and buy an additional Donzi. :confused:

[Donzigo]

I put around 200 to 250 hours on my boat a year. I put over 20 hours on her during the Christmas holidays. Mitchell & I put 7 hours on her one day. Gary King & I put 6 one day. Donzigo Jr. & I put 6 one here yesterday. I know that I bought $400 worth of fuel the last three weeks. I must be using it.

John Mitchell for sure beats me with hours per year..........

Cuda, you're kidding. You put a lot more hours than that on your boats..........(don't you?)......seems like you are always out there.

[Cuda]

Donzigo:

Cuda, you're kidding. You put a lot more hours than that on your boats..........(don't you?)......seems like you are always out there. Yes, this is pretty accurate. We are talking engine hours correct? Say it takes an hour to get from the Park Blvd Ramp to Passage Key, that's only two hours per trip. It doesn't take long to get to where we're going. :cool:

[Donzigo]

Yup, CUDA, you're probably right. So, what's your reason for being up at 3:37AM?, me, I'm sick and drinking lemon tea.......?

You sell your trailer?

Have you tacked the tranny leak yet?

Donzigo Jr. & I went to Mar-Vista yesterday........sweet destination!

[Cuda]

Donzigo Jr. & I went to Mar-Vista yesterday........sweet destination! I just woke up at 2:30 and couldn't go back to sleep. I noticed I was chasing MP around the net to my different boat sites.

Sold the trailer to Brad Strot (Brad's Custom Docks). He's building a second barge.

Is that the first time you've been to Mar Vista?

[Morgan's Cloud]

Two hours on the Magnum before the damn hurricane had a go at it :mad:

About 600 hours on the Z... in restoration work and LOTS more to go :p

Hope all you sick ones are well soon ..
Have you tried the flu shots ? I have had good success with them .

[EricG]

I put about 30 Hours on this year...most of them coming after I put the boat up for sale...and over 3/4 of them in the Salt...I guess Lake Washington has lost some of it's excitement after 10 years of running almost exclusively in it...

[Bob]

4 of the best hours of 2003 were spent in the Hornet. I spent 30 hours going over the boat and planning future work.

[undertaker]

Put on 60 hrs. this year on the 2002 33ZX THAT IS NOW FOR SALE!!!!!!! eek! eek! eek! eek! :p

[N2DEEP]

No hour meter on Livewire {good thing, I might think my engine was getting old} But since late September I went out 3 times on Smith Mountain Lake VA and 2 times on Lake Norman, NC. 5 of the best days of the year!

[JimG]

Between both boats, around 250 hrs. We did not miss a weekend from March through October! I was so proud! :D

Sometimes Friday, Saturday AND Sunday! :D

2003 Was definitely our best boating year ever... Thanks to the Krakmeups, the CAPTWK's, the Fountainhead's, Team Jefe and Mr & Mrs Madmax911.
They were our constant companions all summer long! Great friends! :) Looking forward to another...

No hour meter, but at the end of the year I totalled up my fuel receipts . . . .

521 gallons . . :D :p thru a 20 gallon tank . . most are ~15 gallon fill ups!

and there are 5 tow ins with 20 gallons . . OOPS :rolleyes:

I was smart enough not to total the cost!!! eek!

[Chris-007]

40 hours the first year out. We loved it!!!

[doug hess]

This year was disaster at 35, due to weather, work, etc., but normally average 100 engine hours. As a cruising type spend many times that afloat.

[daboys]

Approx 185 of the best hours of the year, now lets see - 185 hrs x 25 gallons per hour (est) @ average $2.10 per gallon - but what the hell it was still the best 185 hours of the year. Looking forward to April 17, 2004 - target launch date on Lake George, last year I was on the lake 3 dys after the ice went out.
