Location: Princeton Mn. | I can't answer that one, it really depends on the use. Myself I have a 1998 Mariner Optimax with around 600 hours. May seem like alot of hours but they are "gentle" hours.  Over 500 of them are under 1000 rpm, you see I troll alot. Now if you find a tournament boat either bass or walleye their big motor will have very few hours, but they will be "balls to the walls" hours mostly.
Their are alot of things to factor into todays motors but for my money if they are ran right, maintained, and get regular maintainence they should last a good long time.
If you are spending major bucks on a used motor have the computor read and see how it was ran, money well spent! |
