I don't log my hours, just my fishing info. I do have an hour meter though and I have 830 hours in 3.5 years on this boat, so I'm averaging 240 hours per year. I don't do any trolling so my running is 95% at a cruise speed that weather will allow, so if I averade maybe 20 nmph then that would be 4800 nm per year. I bottom fish for grouper, snapper, etc. so we are anchored for most of a fishing day. We fish from 10 - 40 miles out and sometimes venture out to 80+ for an overnighter.
Our best grouper fishing is just getting started and should last through the first of the next year. It gets pretty windy this time of year with the cold fronts moving through but the fishing is great when you can get out there. If you northern brothers get cabin fever before the ice melts, come see us.
