Hey guys, just wondering how many hours is normal. does it only calculate hours when the motor is running. I have put 20hrs on my A22 already this year but it almost seems like i havent been out that much.

Yup, when the motor is running it's adding up. Depending on how long your season is I guess would add to the "average". Guys up north have fewer hours typically compared to us guys down south. My friends and I average 125-150hrs a season but then I have one friend who averages 325-375 hours per season and buys a new boat every year. Down south the smart thing to do is try to buy a new demo from a northern dealer with 20 or less hours and getting $10k-$20k off the price. Example of this is my buddy just got his 2012 MB Sports 23 TWB with 409hp engine and every option to include Wetsounds everything for $51k when sticker on this boat was just over $70k.

im in nc and go out about every weekend, fri, sat, and sun. and average 5 to 6 hours a day give or take as the days get longer. last year I was doing oil changes almost every 4 to 5 weeks

I have 200hrs on my 2012 A22 now.

I bought it 2 weeks ago with 150hrs on it. It was a "dealer demo" but I know the Pro rider that had it last year and I know the care that it was given.

awesome guys, I mainly wanted to make sure that putting on over 100 hrs a season would be considered normal. I am from canada so our season isn't very long.

100hrs last year. Added a full 3/2 wetsuit to my gear, so probably 120-150 this year.

The closest lake that still has water is 140 miles away, but the water is cloudy and the lake is usually very crowded, the lake I normally go to is 150 miles one way, just to go ride usually cost 130-150 in fuel alone and then you have 5 hours of driving, after one day of playing at the lake I'm wore out. There are closer lakes but they're all dried up......:( Damn desert
