This week I winterized my boat and put it away for the winter. I tracked my usage and would like to how the numbers compare to others on the board that average about 6 months of use. Admittedly due poor weather conditions this spring in Pennsylvania, work demands here at the steam machine, family priorities and other commitments I did not get out as much as I would have liked.
The results are as follows:
1) The season stared with the first ride on 4/16/16 and ended with the last ride on 10/15/16.
2) Logged 27 trips in and out the same day, rest of the time my boat is on the trailer inside the old boat house.
3) Logged a total of 128 gallons of 98 octane non-ethanol gas and have about 25 gallons remaining in the tank that I stabilized for winter storage. Therefore I used around 103 gallons of fuel this summer.
4) I put a total of 33 hours of run time on the hour meter.
5) Fuel consumption averaged out to be 3.121 gallons an hour. I often run between 3000 – 3500 rpm and with my set up I cruse 50 mph @ 3500 rpm.
This off season the plan is to keep myself busy working on the GOAT
