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.
 
Looks like a decent deal on an '08 Lifetimer Discovery 27' for $159K. Needs another 40k in exterior work, but then you have a really nice rig. https://www.facebook.com/share/1BYTt8wcYb/
Been listed for a while and a member took a hard look at it. It’s something I would look at in 2-3 years but it would be a project. With their choice of power and not taking care of the paint issues it makes me think there will be lots of other things so I’d guesstimate 100k in work. Power can be resold pretty easily which is nice. Hopefully it is rated for 600hp so any big block 200-300 twins could be popped on there.
 
I thought it may be a bit newer like 2005. Sink under the seat and the stove are cool options
Could be. I’m not exactly sure when they changed the helm seat to the newer style, or the logo. Kitchenette set up is the same as my mid 90’s 24. Nice looking boat. They don’t come up often.
