So how far have you ever driven your boat? One day and total trip?

Somewhere between 170 and 180 miles. Laughlin to the Dam, the springs, the channel, and back to Laughlin. 19' jet botë. All day and half the night. Open headers. Not in a hurry to do that again.

Best guess is 140 miles in our 23ft Powerquest. We were in Sault Ste Marie at the end of a week long vacation and the truck and trailer were at the launch on Crooked Lake near Petoskey. The tough stretch was Lake Huron from De Tour Village in the UP back to Cheboygan. After that, it was about 40 miles of rivers and lakes including two sets of locks. Great trip, but we were ready to get back!

This summer from Lake Chickamauga to Old Hickory Lake Tennessee. Total miles on GPS over 750 (all one way) in 8 days on a FORMULA 242SS. Longest day was Watts Bar to Mussel Sholes, AL. about 190 miles and 3 BIG locks. Awesome trip. Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Tennessee. 165 miles by land from launch to recover points.

That is boating vs bar hopping, and yes alcohol was involved.

It was on my boat, not a charter boat.
I had that boat listed on here when I sold it...

Hell of a boat.
