Im getting ready to install a rebuilt motor in my baja and want the hrs to reflect this for when I sell in the future. Its a 385 mag that is original to the boat and Im going to purchase a rebuild of the same and install myself. I dont want to have it show like 2000 hrs when the motor only has a few hundred when I go to sell a few years from now. Im gonna put a new hour meter but if the future buyer wants it hooked up to a computer to see ECM hours it will differ.

I would think that maybe you should keep the same hours and document the rebuilt motor. The Drive and hull are experiencing the hours also. A friend added a new hour meter on the dash but wired the old one in the engine compartment for reference.

I just took a picture of my hour meters when I first put it in the water after my rebuilds. Between that and my pile of receipts, I'm sure the next owner will believe it.

ya, tons of receipts to show new owner i guess
