How many hours on your Malibu?

[Night Rider]

2009 VLX sold early 2012 with 330 hours. Average hundred and 10 per season

[CumminsBu]

350+ hours no cruise time, all tow.

[Sunscape fan]

2007 Sunscape 23LSV(bought brand new in 2008) - 58 hours. This year we did better than last year, we put a little over 8 hours on the boat compared to about 6 last year. I think most of my time is idling at the dock or being winterized/dewinterized at the dealer!

[PhishJY]

2012 LSV 92 hrs

[tinman10]

2008 Wakesetter VTX 280 and counting

[dalt1]

2006 VLX with 933 hours now. Will probably add another 5 to 7 before seasons end. Usually between 110 and 120 per year.

How many hours do you use your boat per year? Here is our totals SO FAR.

Executive Summary= 1993 to 2012 Malibu Boats

108 boats counted= Overall average is 52 hours per year

76 boats counted = 2006-2012 average is 63 hours per year

[jwl019]

99 Sunsetter VLX w/ 365.6 as of today.

[JAXONBOATS]

You realize thats a whopping 28 hours per year average.

You realize thats a whopping 28 hours per year average.

Taking total hours and dividing by the number of years does not adjust for the change of ownership. If I bought one of your sweet low hour boats that has been sitting somewhere for 5-6 years, and then ran it, it would have 60-70 hours a year on it, but only 35 annual or so birth to date

[CVand2010VLX]

2010 VLX - Bought new May 2010. 340 Hrs.

[jwl019]

You realize thats a whopping 28 hours per year average.

I am the second owner, bought this year with 328 hours on it, and I've put the rest on it. Other than 2 vacations on lakes each summer, I really only put a few hours in in the local river every other weekend, so that's gonna be pretty close to normal for me.

2002 Response Barefooter w/Hammerhead and 1240 hrs. Bought August 2008 w/330hrs. Averaging a little over 200 hrs a year. Primarily used for slalom and barefooting @ 34-45 mph. Love the boat!!!

[JAXONBOATS]

2nd highest hours posted so far!!!

[REW]

04 DD wakesetter 665 my average is just under 100 per year since I have owned this boat. Next year should be more due to some extra planned no fly days.

[tideride]

2011 VLX - 165 hours in 2 seasons.

[jaciche]

Second owners. 280 on it now. 50 per season which is pretty depressing

[demo9asx]

I'll add to the stats.

02 wakesetter vlx. 400hrs.

[demo9asx]

What im curious is for folks who put more than 100hrs, do you trailer or left your boat on the water (lift, etc).

I know i would easily put more hours if i have a slip at the marina. Those quick after work session is definitely more manageable if you dont have to unload/load

[rhavey79]

2001 Sunkicker: 900 hours even. Purchased 4/7/2010 with 410 hours.

[nyryan2001]

2011 247. 155hrs.

And that with having lost the boat for a total of 6 weeks (1.5 months) of 10months possible boating months I've owned it for maintenance and quality fails. And another 2 months degraded abilities, no ballast, wedge...etc.

I would be at 200-225 or so without the quality fails and OKC dealer refusing service.

[hethj7]

2000 vlx and I have 933 hours on it now. Still runs like a champ!
