1999 33 avs - Hour Meter
I am currently looking at a 1999 33 avs with twin 502 (415 hp) and the owner states that it does not have an hour meter gauge but has to be plugged in at a dealer to determine the hours on it. This doesn't seem right but I wanted to ask on this forum. Any help is greatly appreciated. I am relatively new to powerboating and need all the help I can get.
Thanks in advance.

I'M NOT AN EXPERT
However, this sounds correct -- we have a 2000 7.4 MPI and this was conducted when we bought it. I'm going from memory but the only thing that wasn't printed off was the exact time/hours at specific RPM's. I don't know if the memory chip in our boat could do it or wasn't a feature.
For sure if you are taking this to a dealer - I would have a compression check etc., done -- and for sure have the outdrives looked at. If they are out of alignment - it could cost big bucks for new couplers -- Money well spent.
Hope this helps
All the best and above all BE SAFE!!!!

Spend the $$$ and buy a scanner then test every engine you look at. $200-400 of well spent money when looking at $50-75K boat.
I wouldnt trust what the hour meter any way. Who knows what the other owners did.
