It's an instant campground on the water. Bring the grill, load the music, and you have a day on the water. I didn't have my GPS on during many stops this year, but I think at last look it read 25 hours at rest. I'd estimate probably 60 hours while at anchor, at bare minimum. That's just weekends. Yet another reason I will never buy another boat that doesn't have an enclosed head.

Agreed on the head, my next boat will be another bowrider, a bit bigger with an enclosed head.
We love to drop anchor and hang with friends on the lake. Like you, our 50 engine hours this year do not tell the true story of how many hours we spend on the lake!
