Just invested in a fishing kayak. So when the arms get tired, my motor is at its limit. No math needed.

If you're shopping used boats, there's a few things to remember. The hour meter could have been replaced, or disconnected for a period of time, so its not Gospel!

The biggest benefit of having one on a new boat, is breaking in the new motor, and doing your maintenance services on time. All of these things are scheduled by X amount of hours.

I agree.

With the responses I got with actual numbers given, the average so far is 9,300 hrs.

That's the reason you paddle against the current at the beginning. That way when you're tired later you have the current workin WITH you goin back.
And if there's no current then you are just SOL for any help.

Saw, ripogenu's computations are hilarious as Bernoulli's principle is relative to fluid flow and static measurement and Fibonocci's is not a principle but a numerical sequence.This cat has a great sense of humor and I think I would love fishing and having a "cold" one with him!! dr. bob

It might take me a week or two count them, she keeps them in the boxes that our washer and dryer came in.
