1200hrs on the mains + 4000hrs on the kicker..........thats 5200hrs in 3-4 years which means you put between 1300 and 1700+ hrs a year.
Thats full time guiding in a long season and in no way comparable to the average user that spends a couple hundred hrs a year out there.
Not in 3-4 years. The boat and motors are 2006 so 13 years of trouble free running (well maintained).
That's 100 hours a year on the mains and 300 hours a year on the kicker.
If I didn't have a kicker I would have re-powered about 8 years ago and running costs to date would have been at least an additional $50k.
I fish about 50 days a year including extended trips up the north coast.
