What kind of hours do you rack-up?

So how are you racking up 2x the hours only going out ½ as much as I do?

Most of my trips are all offshore - 50-100 mile round trips on average, with motor running the entire time.

I average about 200hrs per season in the Northeast. I can only imagine how many hours / engines I would burn through if I lived down south.

There are plenty of days where we only head out to behind the break wall or go to a cove. 30-40 minutes round trip.
Even with fishing trips, I rarely have to go more than 5 miles off shore.
I guess I'm spoiled. Lots of good spots close to home.

depends on how you look at it. thats a fishing only mind set. my favorite thing is actually running the boat, just feeling the waves, hearing the spray, the sound of the motors. neither is right or wrong, just different ways to look at it.
