Potential boat questions? Oil low
Hey guys. Ok so I'm going to test drive a 2008 mobius lsv tomorrow and my friend took it out today after six or seven months of not being cranked. He said its been 170 hrs since impeller change and 150 since an oil change. So after about 20 min driving he said he noticed that it was smoking a little or he thought so he put it on the trailer and took it to the marina to see an Indmar technician. They found it to be 2 quarts low on oil but they said that is expected after a full season of 150 hrs. Also he said that it ran a little hot when idling or will ballasts full at surf speed but normal at twenty mph. Which they said was normal for an impeller needing to be changed. What do you guys think? Anyone ever had either of these experiences?

I assume the oil and impeller are now both new? You should be good to go. Tell your buddy impellers and oil are cheap insurance to protect very expensive components. Even if they live it will affect his re-sale.

You buying it? Have you at least added oil?
