How many hours is too many for you?
A friend who is looking for a boat sent me a link to an 07 Lsv that has 540hrs on it and he asked me if that was too many hours to consider buying. I said that 540hrs over 10 yrs doesn't seem to be a lot in my opinion and that as long as the boat is in good shape and has been taken care of I would definitely look into it some more. What do you guys think? Is there a certain number where you would shy away from an otherwise good boat? To me the history and care of the boat is more telling than the hours. Just wondering...

I agree with you, if its been cared for 540 is not bad. I've been on boats with over 2,000 hours and still run fine. All about the history and maintenance.

10 seasons at 54 hours per season is nothing. Hard to find them much lower. I would be all over it if I were him.

Yah I bought my 2006 tige a few years back with 340 on it and sold it 3 seasons later with 600 and it ran great and was a good boat for the next owner. I'll surely be nearing 1k hours on the craz in 10 years assuming I still own it

My last boat had 1475 hours (825 of which iwas responsible for) when I sold it to a buddy and had less issues with it than I do with my new one that had 160 hours. It's all about maintenence.

I personally would not purchase a boat with 800+ hours on it, but everyone has a budget.
That's still not many per year. My 2007 has 450ish and I purchased from someone that did not use it much for the first 4 years.
Heck, depending on where the boat was sitting, I would be more worried about the interior.
What is the asking price?
Have a compression check done to ease any nerves.
500 hours should not be any issue with motor longevity.

I hope people are not too scared of high hours, we will break 600 this year and I still don't have the budget to replace it yet so by the time we get rid of it we will probably be around 1000.

Hours means nothing, you can tell if the boat was taken care of or not just by looking at it. Always have the boat taken to a dealer for a water test. Its a small fee but will tell you everything you need to know..
