I was told by the agent when I cought my boat from the original owner that he rarely used the boat. Each year, it was motored across Lake ontario and back at the end of the summer, otherwise used little. original parts were all installed as evidenced by the universal copper paint color, with the exception of the alternator. It was estimated to be < 500 hours use in 20 years.
I have used the boat A LOT in the succeeding 10 years, but motoring relatively little. Estimated at another 500 hours.
Engine remains extremely reliablle. I'v replaced the heat exchanger, mizing elbow, and wiring harness. Last winter I replaced the injectors and noticed a nice efficiency and "smoothness" improvement. no plans to replace the engine as long as parts are available.
