Used Boat Hours?????????????????????
 

Looking for a used performance offshore boat. I think it is narrowed down to Fountain or Formula 35 footers. This is probably answered someplace else. But what is too many hours? I have heard 50 hours a year is average. If I divide 250 by 7 years thats about 35 a year,"for a 2000" that seems on the low side. I know the only real way to test an engine is with a leak down But how many hours do these motors usually go? and same for the drives. I own a 21' Eliminator Dayton, in 2 years I only put on 50 hours, so 250 hours seems like alot but for offshore maybe this is ok.

How many hours the engines go depends on what engines are in the boat, how they were driven and how they were maintained.

More times than the number of question marks in your subject line :D

So if we multiply the number of question marks times the number of posts, divide by 10, raised to the power of the age of the boat and take the 3rd root...I get 45.453567 hours would be spot on :chimp:

My math might be a little off since i'm home sick and taking lots of drugs :cool-smiley-011:
