    buying a used 2012 250 SHO....does this sound good?

    Guys,

    I'm buying a used Ranger z521 with a 2012 250SHO. I had dealer do inspection and need input from people familiar with Yamaha SHO. Serial # 6CBL-1002337. All 6 cylinders are at 170psi with leak down less than 5%. Warranty until May 2017.

    138 total hrs:
    -1000 r/mi = 65.1
    1000-2000 = 18.2
    2000-3000 = 2.6
    3000-4000 = 22.8
    4000-5000 = 15.5
    5000-6000 = 13.1
    6000-7000 = 0.8

    All diagnosis good.

    Sounds ok to me. Looks like a ton of idle time probably structure fishing.

    That's not many hours on a 3-4 year old motor. Looks to me they idle around a lot and have some no wake zones to deal with (18 hrs at 1000-2000). Change the oil and air that baby out more often.....
