791 hours is that too many?

[topcop105]

Hello~

I am looking at buying a 2000 SeaRay 190 Signature. The boat looks to be in pretty good shape but has 791 hours on a 4.3 liter EFI engine. Is that too may hours to consider buying. When I do the math it comes out to just about 88 hours per year. That doesn't seem like a lot but other boats I have considered buying have around 200 hours on the same year. The boat is priced right at $10,000 so I am very interested but not sure about all the hours.

Please let me know what you think!!! Thanks is advance!

If well maintained, the hours are negligable.

Exactly, I'd ask to see if the previous owner has all the maintenance records and receipts. A well cared for boat will have well cared for records to go along with it.
