It is not bad to have fewer hours on a used boat. Notice that this truck has traveled 26,132 miles which virtually everyone will agree is not "Too Many" but has 793.6 hours which is a number many boat buyers would seek to avoid! Here is a picture of the hour meter on one of our shop trucks. Some newer vehicles have an engine hour meter. Similar levels of engine wear can be assumed in this example given proper service history. Our 1000 hour boat serviced every 50 hours would have had the same 20 oil changes. Most marine engine manufacturers recommend an oil change every 50 engine hours. A 60,000 mile vehicle having its oil changed every 3,000 miles will have had 20 oil changes. What we need to do is find a common link from automotive to the marine world and the easiest way to do this is by using engine oil change intervals. How about a 1000 hours on a boat? Many people we talk to think that 1000 hour boat is something to be avoided. It is safe to say most people will feel that a modern used vehicle with 60,000 miles has a lot of life left in it? It is very common for vehicles to go three or four times that distance. We all have more automotive experience to draw our opinions from so lets start there. Most buyers are probably much more comfortable answering the question, "how many miles are too many on a used vehicle?" The final answer of this question will vary with experience and budget as will the ultimate answer to the same question on a boat.

I have all the accessories as far as boat cover, camping curtains, all safety equipment, new GPS, new fish finder, AM/FM/CD/MP3/XM, 8 life jackets and anything else I think the winning offer would need to go out on the water that day. This boat has always started up immediately with no issues at all. I purchased this boat 2 years ago with intentions on using in every weekend and "getting my money worth."
