Hmmm...I THINK you were joking there...700 hours a year would be 2 hours a day almost every day...or 14 hours a weekend almost every weekend. I think we can safely say that MOST of us don't fish 700 hours a year.
<br /><br />We just have to face the fact that, by the hour, this is a very expensive hobby. I marvel every time I see someone selling a boat that is 5 or 6 years old, for $10,000 or more less than they paid for it, and advertising that it has only been used less than a couple hundred hours. I saw one a while back that claimed it had been used 35 hours in 3 years...pretty expensive 35 hours of boat use, if true.<br /><br />Which is part of the reason I bought an old boat to restore...it still isn't cheap, but it is a lot easier to amortize than the price of a new one.
