Boats on Used Victoria and Other Areas

My good friend was second in line but missed out. What are people’s thoughts on the hours. My thoughts were if it was maintained and run well then it could go to 3k hours. That would be another 8-10 years at 100 hours or less per season.

Surveyor's price outboards based on a combination of age and hours, and would likely put that one at 2-3k? An additional 8-10 years might be possible, but if an engine has been used in Salt, I think there is a high chance of a major component failure. I'd budget 30k for a repower, and or 10k for a kicker with remote throttle/mount. Maybe it will last 8 years with just a few $1000 services, but I've seen guys with bills of well 10k in parts and service for a similar size motor with fewer hours.
