Yeah, for recreational use 500 hours ends up being around 5-10 years. I’d say after that amount of time most people are looking to sell it or get a new boat anyway.
I was thinking about that too. I figured, get this boat running. West Branch state park is 15 minutes away, lake erie an hour, if i use the boat this year, buy a newer boat next year. I looking more for a pontoon boat. I saw a nice one at one of my customers, 3 pontoons, with twin 250 hondas. Only $110k
