Hours on a motor

[dmack04]

Would you consider 375 hours on a 2001 bass boat a lot of hours? From pics it looks like the boat is in great shape. The owner has used this boat for a guiding service, so I would say it's been thru some heavy use, but from all inquiries, well maintained.<br /><br />Comments?

Re: Hours on a motor

i would have to say most people would love to have the time to put 375 hrs on their boat in 3 seasons. i personally don't have the time, but that's not to say it's a high number. like i said in another post, i'd rather own an engine with 500 hrs and well maintained, than one with 100 hrs and neglected. do the normal checks and give it a good test. good luck-

Re: Hours on a motor

Thanks mattttt25, that's reasonable. This particular boat looks in great shape. Based on extras that have been added and discussion with the owner, all indications are that it has been well maintained, although maintained by the owner. I would probably take it in for a once over before I bought it.
