I tow mine about 5 miles to the boat launch in April and then leave it at the dock in for the summer.

It really depends on the year.
This year, only about 150 miles.
Most years it is 800+.
And the years I take it to Canada, add on another 1300-1500.

So, anywhere from 150 to 2300.

10 miles each way to the nearest lake couple times a week. 40 miles to the next nearest couple times a month. 100 to 140 down to the Delaware or Chesapeake couple times a summer. It adds up pretty quick.....so does the gas bill

3 -4 times a year minimum to my old stoppin' grounds, Lake Vermilion in N MN. That's 300 miles round trip each time(just do day trips). So 900 - 1200 there plus all the trips to our local lakes.....

We enjoy towing to a variety of lakes nearby, and take an occasional 220 mile trip to a cabin in northern Minnesota. Trailer tires, including spare, get rotated as soon as rig comes out of storage in the spring.

Ramp is 20 miles or so from home, so close to a 1000 miles this year.

I constantly tow my boats. I am a commercial fisherman and average way more than 10,000 miles a year.

Re: How miles a year do you tow your boat?

its 24 miles from my house to the boat ramp, there is a lake about 3 miles away but the water has been too low since I moved here, almost 4 years ago

figure 1-2 times a month ......50 miles round trip =1200 +/- miles a year

Cottage and back is 500 miles and at least 3 trips there a year plus my local towing.
Got the big one next spring though. Off to Florida for the meet.

Three lakes that are 40 miles each way and one lake that is 60 miles one way.

I've not had the boat but a couple of months, but projected mileage for 2010 is 500-1000 and 10 trips total. Total projected hours on boat/motor: 30 hrs. per year.

This was an eye opener for me. Fifteen miles one way to where I usually launch. Average a minimum of fishing once a week (more in summer,less in winter) so I came out to over 1500 miles a year!

Holy Cow! 1000 miles?!?! Maybe I'm just spoiled...I tow mine 200 yards to the launch in the spring and back home in the late fall.....after duck season.

1000 isn't much for a season, I do that in two weeks commuting to our shop.

We're looking to either move onto the water, or buy a "summer" cottage on the water, so mine might be cut down substantially.
