Guys,
I am actively looking for a new boat (17-20 ft fishing boat with an outboard) - I ahve a general question about engine hours.
I have seen some boats - 8 to 10 years old - advertised with 150 hours, and some others advertised with 800 hours. I get the basic difference but what is really considered high hours.
Back in the old days we used to think of cars with more than 100k miles as high mileage - What's a high hours on a boat.
Obviously there are many factors such as maintenance and how it is used but generally speaking one will not know that when looking to purchase used.
Thanks again in advance for your comments
