How many hours on your boats engine?

[the lynch mob]

I have about 370 on a big block chevy about 425 hp. Run pretty easy, usually ski speeds in a 21 Howard vdrive.

278 on a 496 HO

 

[TPC]

Sea Ray AKA Boston Whaler built boats and their generics no longer have hour meters.
Thus re-sale is higher.

 

[kevnmcd]

515 on my HP500EFI's

 

[t&y]

About 30 on a mild 454. Supposed to be 450hp but I'm not too sure on that.

 

[vee-driven]

i get about 5 min between rebuilds!

 

[steamin rice]

About 165 hours on 525efis.

Put 8 or 9 seasons on the blown 548 in my 21' Howard before freshening it up 2 years ago.

 

[Trifecta]

36 years in a 21' Howard jet boat. I ran the boat for 19 years on the original motor BBF . I just rebuilt it and have 4hrs. More to come by the end of the week.:skull

Hour meter says 610. Computer says 528 on a 98' 502.

Just passed 800 on the Merc 350 in my '96 Ski Sanger. Got it hot a couple years ago when I lost the impeller and it's starting to burn a little oil, so hopefully this winter we'll freshen it up.

 

[dread Pirate]

81 on 725 Ilmors. :thumbsup

Come up north sometime and I'll help you add some to that.

IDK, changed the hour meter for a oil temp gauge. For me a better indication of use would be total fuel used meter. When I hot foot it I go thru 50 gallons in under a hour, drive easy 2 or 3 hours

 

[kiethco]

I just turned 300 on my stock 454 Bravo. It's a 1989. I bought it with 260 in October. First got it wet April 5th of this year.

I dont think so. I am doing Havi for Labor day and then a Bday in Gilbert on the 15th and then maybe the Howard regatta at the end of the month.

At what hours should a 496HO be freshened up? How about a 525?

I believe our boat/engine/hull have 236hrs. Its a 1999 model.

 

[pronstar]

My '81 Tahiti had 957 hours showing on the broken meter when I bought it.
I know the previous owner, he said the meter broke over 10 years ago.

The Volvo/Penta 260 was all original, never been opened up.
Good, even psi on all cylinders, it ran like a champ :thumbsup
