kbkindle   how many water miles you guys put on you boat a year.  just for us north guys that only get to fish about 6-7 months a year  kb    miles or hours?? :-/

I think the Lowrance with speed sensor in my Stratos 285 showed I traveled 680 miles (and it was calibrated almost dead on with the gps at 60 mph) in eight months last year, before I started using my Javelin.  I've been using the ficht motor on the Javelin since March of this year, I just had the computer on it last weekend and it shows I've put 81 hours on it since March.  A lot of that has been at 60 - 70 mph so needless to say.  I cover a few miles a year but the lake I fish is 77,000 acres and it no problem making one run of 50 miles.  Just try not to do that very often.  Yes, I do fish a lot more than I ride so needless to say, I spend a lot of time on the water
