How many hours will a ski boat last?
Typically an average gas engine will run about 1500 hours before it needs a major overhaul. That means when properly maintained on a routine basis with around 200 hours a year, it will last for more than seven years. There are a few things to consider when looking at boat hours. Unless you are looking at a really high hour boat (2,000+ hours) there are typically very few drawbacks to the number of hours a boat has. In fact, a boat with normal hours (50-75 per year) will often time run better than a boat with low hours.A boat with normal hours will often time run better than a boat with low hours. Boat motors are dependable for an average of 1500 hours. After that point, they become undependable, and you don’t want to be five miles out when they decide to break down. Recreational boats are used between 75 and 150 hours per year.Your next step is to pay attention to the used boat’s age and engine hours, we recommend looking for used boats that are under 10 years old with less than 500 hours logged. This age and amount of hours logged should ensure the boat is in good condition and minimize the amount of problems you come across in the future.If you have kept up with the service schedule, and your boat has between 500-1,000 hours, you probably won/’t need to replace the engine for at least the next 5 to 7 years, depending on how often you use it. In most cases, they start to run rough and begin showing signs of wear and tear.
