50hrs per season is considered "average", 17x50=850hrs

I had a 2009 SN with 400 hours. Currently have a 2010 with 175 hours and a 2011 with 75 hours. I know of a 2008 with 2600 hours and a 2009 with 1600 hours. And a 2007 with 40 hours. My 92 had 1500 hours. My sons 82 had 900 hours. Their is a 95 sport here with 465 hours. Is their and average?? ------------- Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise. 1993 Shamrock "fat" 20. 2008 Nautique 196 5.0 |

my 1992 has 2030 hours!! thats 110 hours a year. I guess it depends of the location of the boat..a FL boat will likely have more hours than a north boat due to the fact it can be used year round...

| i dont think there is an average. id rather see a boat thats been used and well taken care of, over a real low hour boat that sat much of its time. i have a 94 w 1700 hours. i dont read into the hours much, due to fact how easy it is to disconnect the meter. a boats overall condition tells much more imho. |

Thanks for the answers. Thats exactly the way I was thinking. I've never given much thought to the hour meter myself. And I'll agree I'd rather have a boat thats been running instead of sitting in a garage or worse out in the weather. I've bought boats with low hours before and they usually turned out to have the most gremlins pop up when you least expected it.
I was selling my 93 purple with 1300 hours. And someone commented it was a lot of hours for the money which lead me to finally ask the " Average " question. ------------- pmccook1 Current boat:1993 Ski Nautique " Purple " Have owned : 76' ski nautique, 93' Sport Nautique, 83 Stars and stripes, 47' Chris Craft Continental |

Definitely point to maintenance you've done etc. to help your case.
I agree that used, but not abused, and well maintained beats neglected. |

I swear that people see the 1000 hour mark and poop their pants and run from the boat.
Like it was said before, I would much rather have a boat with a reasonable amount of hours on it. Most people put 1000 hours on their cars in the first 3 years of owning it....yes i know its a different story but you guys know what I mean. For a buyer to be nervous about 1000 hours is silly. As Brian said. Point out your maintenance and offer to do a compression test in front of them if they are a serious buyer. ------------- "I'm planning to bring my girl that rides on a trailer with me and leave my girl that complains about camping at home" |

By my rough math figuring a car with mostly highway use, averages 50 mph overall (probably high). 1000 hrs would be 50,000 miles, It seems most cars die of rust (in minnesota anyway) but the engines can go 200,000 miles if maintained. So 1000 hours is not a big deal. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died.

My 85 I have 816 hrs on it. Which is equivalant to 81,000 thousand miles on a car. But as it truley depends on the owner and how it was maintained. If I saw a boat with 1500 hrs and was cared for and maintance records are there, hrs on a boat makes no difference. ------------- 1985 CC 2001-SOLD Lee Michael Johnson |

78-412 hrs
88-1,900 hrs (when sold) 90-650 hrs (friends boat) 96-520 hrs I've always heard what Quinner said, 50 hrs/yr. Not sure that I can attest to that because we put a lot of hours on our boats. For example: One cruise around the lake at night = 1 hour. Do that 3 nights a week and you have 50 hours in a summer right there without any ski time. Our 88 had 1,900 hours (400 when we bought it) and never a serious issue other than an oil pump going out one spring. My 78 has 412 and the motor is out as we speak......hours aren't necessarily bad. ------------- |

I'd worry hours on a GM engine, but not on a ford.

One argument I haven't seen included is when you guys compare the car motors to boat motors. I understand a little rounding up with average MPH and what now but what about the fact that a boat is underpower virtually every HR it is running where as a car can coast and let the motored rest. Maybe I jut missed it but it could be something to think about.
This being said, I'm a believer that hrs don't matter...buddies 88 has 1900 running strong, dads 90 has 1350....running pretty good yet too. Minor things here and there but if the price is right. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5009 - '90 Ski (sold) http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5479 - '00 Sport Mississippi River - Bellevue, IA |

And it still looks good if thats the one I saw when we were in Coralville. As to comparing boats to cars, what I've heard is along the lines of what Mike is getting at.....boats run up hill every second they are moving forward. Makes complete sense. ------------- |

The plaque was just a "extra" added by CC to personalize YOUR boat. If the boat changed owners you could get them straight from CC but they do not do that anymore. HOWEVER....MartyMabe is the man you need to talk to as he is getting them reproduced and has had many performanced engineered plaques made for the members here. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

| There isnt near as much to wear out in a boat as a car. Engine,tranny, shaft, and a couple of bushings. No suspension, brakes, A/c, doors, etc. Our hulls (especially 93+) will outlast us! As a buyer, I would use hours as a bargaining chip, but a well maintained boat is more important. |
