Was curious so I added up all the trips I took. I towed the boat approximately 2800 miles this year.

This year, not many. The Ohio river is only a few minutes from where I keep my boat.

Over the summer, not so much. Spring, and from now until the December 31 is another story. :D

Probably did 1500-1800 miles this spring. Will probably do about the same from now until the end of the year.

I have no idea and I probably wouldn't want to know considered how much gas money associated with it. A LOT is all I can say. :D

Lets see, I didn't keep track of it but Powell Utah, Big Mac Nebraska, Some crazy windy lake in Kansas and day trips probably 4000 or 5000 miles towing the boat, 1000 of that towing the boat and the cabover camper, roughly.

Life's good with a Cummins Diesel

A couple dozen. From winter storage location to my home, from home to slip, from slip to home, from home to storage. Sits in the slip all summer, sits in storage all winter.

0 for the summer. I have a duck boat that gets all it's use during the duck season. I will probably go about 500 miles then.

Our boat lives in a slip under our house so none. We haven't used the boat trailer in years and I'm sure its needs an entire overhaul.

About 400 miles since it's 5 miles to the ramp and 5 back home. :D

About 1700 miles total, 500 of it was a round trip to my dad's place at Lake Norfork, the rest was to local lakes which were all 60-100miles away.

Scary thought isn't it. All part of it though. I've actually gotten really accustomed to the Arkansas River since it's literally right in my back door nearly. I've about gotten them figured out, now I just need to stay on top of them all winter:D

In all I've probably towed about 3000 miles since I bought the boat in February.

you know I live near the head waters of the Arkansas, hard to believe you guys can boat on it in anything more then a raft!! Just goes to show what a thousand miles of river can become!!

Socked in by fog this morning in Toledo. Pulling 800 miles back home from Lake Michigan. No doubt it will bring on some constipation this morning.

Probably about 1000 miles, I am 20 miles or so from our ramp. We boat on the Chesapeake. Didn't get out as much as I wanted this year, a lot going on with new businesses.
