s Chuck, that's exactly what I did. I was addin 16 years in months and then 12 weeks for the extra 3 months. My Bad. Sorry.
But it's right for the 844 weeks.

You're just checking to see if anyone was doing the math 😂😂
Those four strokes motors are the bomb I wish I bought one before now I just bought a new 2022 50 hp Yamaha four-stroke for my pontoon boat and a 25 horsepower Yamaha four stroke for my J16 and it runs like a dream.🎣🎣

52 weeks x 16yrs +12 weeks = 844 weeks.

Is the way I figured it.

You are correct Fred. Help me figure out how many hours you think the motor has on it. Thanks.

Well, it appears you have a distinctly large math problem. For starters, 16 years and 3 months equals 844 weeks. Going to be tough to figure actual hours using much smaller number of weeks.

Yep, that's bout the size of it alright.

Yeah, right.

[quote=Chuckay]Saw, I would say 844 weeks
Then average 3 times weekly
About 5 hr. Per. trip=12,660
884x3=2,532x5=12,660 !!!!!
You're probably around that number 🎣🎣🎣 just saying,
That's about 1.45 years run time

OK guys. I have a math problem. br I owned my boa... (show quote)

I'd say approx. 5862 hours

Assuming Chucks numbers are correct Saws motor has 1.45years run time. Just saying.

All my life I said that we should be able to fish 5 days and work 2 days, now that I can there's more things to take care of that I worked for all my life for not realizing that what I have accomplished in life still has to be cared for, working the cow's, fence work, mowing, fertilizing the pastures, but it's all good when I do get behind I just ask God for a little assistance, he's always been there for me..🙏🙏 you just got to put him first, Chuck

I guesstimated 70 7 hrs trips per year. Round up to 500hrs × 16 for 8000 hrs. Fun post. OBG has kept a log, a fun way to stay sharp. It's great you really enjoyed your boat!

WAIT JUST A SECOND!!!!! Is it just me or am I the only guy that has fibbed to the Wifey about how long I fish, or if I fished at all..... maybe Saw is only telling half the story just in case someone sees this thread..

Hmmmm.....

DOUBLE ANY HOURS CALCULATED!!!!

Sorry, but your math is off a little, that is 845 weeks

So here's the thing. If we take Saw's information and correlate it with the Bernoulli principle, apply this to a Fibonacci progression and input the time(16yr-3mn) we can establish a formula for calculating the actual number of hours the motor ran. We can integrate the sidereal movements that time is recorded to to verify the actual time used. To adjust for the variable of time not used we access the weather patterns over the same time period to determine the adverse weather conditions that would result in no fishing excursions, this would then need to be corrected to to show the ideal weather conditions and fish species activity for the extra fishing excursions. To narrow the margin of error, Saw's health during the same time frame will mitigate any miscellaneous discrepancies. Engine failure or maintenance would then be added at the end. Done properly this would allow us to predict how many hours were fished on any given day during that 141,792 hours with a margin of error of >1%

Where is it off? Leap year or an extra day for the 3 months at the end?
There are 52 weeks in a year. 52 X 16 = 832 weeks.
3 months at 4 weeks to the month and you get 12 weeks.
832 + 12 is 844 weeks.
I suppose with leap years and maybe an extra day for the 3 months at the end you might be right.
Is that what you're figurin Kerry?

WOW, I think you lost me at the Bernoulli principle.

Well you said in line three: "That's 204 weeks". Did I read it wrong?
