2025 - My Season By The Numbers

2025 My Season By The Numbers
2025 was a good year. I traded in my 22 Stingray 182 SC for a 23 Sun Tracker Party Barge 22 DLX pontoon demo boat with a 115 HP Mercury Pro XS outboard at the Detroit Boat Show in February. Price was right. I never saw myself as a pontoon boat owner until my Son purchased one in 2019 and I found I liked the stability a pontoon boat has along with the room to move around.
I did most of my boating on the Detroit River, Lake Erie and Lake St. Clair. I did trailer up to northern Michigan and I launched on Lake Superior, Higgins Lake, Houghton Lake, Elk Lake, Lake Skegemog and South Lake Leelanau. That’s one of the reasons I trailer my boat. Can go anywhere and launch.
I think I can say I had a pretty good season overall.
The numbers:
23 Launches
5 Day trips to Put-in-Bay Ohio
70.0 Hours on the engine
803.7 Miles travelled
209.964 Gallons of rec fuel used
3.82 MPG
2.99 GPH
$874.00 Dollars cost of rec fuel
$900.00 Boat storage fee Gibraltar Storage
$476.99 Garmin ECHOMAP UHD2 53CV+TRANSDUCER
$904.18 Mount 3rd cleat starboard mount Garmin GPS/Sonar
$125.25 Put on MC#’s and boat name
$33.39 Pkg. of 4 rail mount fender holders
$36.72 2 rail mount flag poles and American flags
$84.75 Amazon for plow style stainless steel anchor
$198.68 Quicksilver Spare propeller
$232.14 Mercury propeller to replace damaged propeller
$202.44 Replace unrepairable trailer tire
$374.51 Replace broken trailer tail lights
$67.83 Starbrite canvas waterproofing
$146.61 New battery (left master control switch on)
$13.76 Bought spare set of keys for boat
$1139.71 Winterize engine grease hubs shrinkwrap boat
$5810.96 monies spent on boating. Worth every penny. Some of the expenses are one time expenses and shouldn’t be repeated.
