Yes I am going to brag. My family and I or a combination of friends and family,, have been out on are boat 31 times this season with112 hrs. Every time I take it out I note my calendar.
I have had my 2008 SX230 since 2013. 8 seasons. Just over 50 outings. LOL. 180 hours. About 6 trips a summer on average. One trip in 2017 and none in 2018 if I recall, which really skews the annual average!
Installed the Garmin June 13 2020 and have put on 48hrs since. My overall for the season guess is probably in the 60’s and still going. Not bad for N. Illinois
We did just over 30 hours this season and picked it up June 12. I am sad that it’s been ready for winter for the past 2 weeks, the water got really gross here beginning of September with algae and it turned us off in a hurry.

Bought the boat and first day on the water was June 6th. As of yesterday, we hit 58.2hours. Did second oil change at 50. We probably only have a couple more weekends of decent weather, so maybe 60-70 hours when we put her away for the winter. Typically we do about 40-50 hours a year but this new boat is a blast to drive and we've been doing more activities with it.
