Knowing there are lots of variables (maintenance, use, etc), just wondering what a good *rule of thumb* one could use when assessing a "used" 2000 5.7L Mercuiser engine.
For example, if the motor has 500 hours and the owner says they are easy hours mostly from trolling, how much life -> How many hours-> can I expect to get out of these motors before a major over overhaul? I'm fishing for an idea on how much to offer the owner on his boat.
Thanks in advance!
