Boat and motor hours

[Ryan2005]

What is considered high hours? I found a 2006 P4 with a 2006 optimax that has 360 hours on it. Boat is in great shape. Should I be concerned about the hours if it runs good and compression checks out. Thanks.

Just like anything depends on the care and conditions the rig was in. Seen some they were trashed with less than 100 and some that were mint with 2000. Careful inspections should be done when considering a new rig. Lot of good info out there to be had.

1200 hours is the right time to start wondering on a well cared for engine. There are many factors.

I think too many people are hung up on hours. We just traded for a boat that is a 2016 with over 500 that is still in warranty and 300+ of the hours are under 1500 RPMs which is all down & side imaging. Have the test done as if there is no hour meter and all will be good on average. Good Luck

That is a low hour boat. Only about 30 hours per year, which is not much use. As long as things check out, I would have no problem with that engine.

Thanks everyone for the insight.

Sometimes 350 is better than 150.....

they need to be used, not abused......

i wouldnt worry about about it if the boat was clean and the deal was right.
