Oh, I don't expect these numbers to reflect the average boat owner. We are a narrower demographic. The 50-100 hours for the average is what I've heard and believe as well. That number's a little high even as you have so many who barely use it. I've known boat owners who used it one week a year. I knew people who lived on the lake and would take perhaps a 2 hour ride every other week during warm weathy. They'd use it less than 25 hours.
Average annual engine hours.

Actually, not all that many, typically 2000-2500 nm/year.
We cruise mostly at 6-6.5 knots, though we can do 18 if we wish.
