    Did you run your boat this month?

    Yes, many times. Use it or loose it. Burning fuel is the best engine maintenance plan ever and fun to boot. Also the cheapest plan.

    12 hours on the meter this month. Mostly at 26 plus knots.

    I did. It's a nice change of pace from last season.

    You must leave the dock to qualify as running bing the boat.

    And no trips to the fuel dock or pumpouts count.

    Just got back from a 36 hour overnighter. This was first overnight trip on this boat for me. Burned 285 gallons of fuel putting at 9 knots. I think we went about 140 miles round trip

    Leaving the dock for the sole purpose of turning the boat around to get the dinky lift on the dock side probably should not count either. If so, that makes me a NO, with regret.
