I bought my boat last fall with 170 hrs. It was immaculately maintained, so the fact it was 8 yrs old didn’t bother me. I had planned on keeping it for a few years, then upgrading to a bigger/newer boat. Well less than a year later, I’ve put on ½ the original hours. At this rate I’ll have well over 400 hrs before I’m ready to sell. What is the hour plateau where a used sport boat becomes hard to sell and takes a deep decline in value? For cars, it’s typically over 100k miles. I’ve heard 300 hrs. is the milestone for boats, but that seems a bit low.
I’m not complaining, just curious. For a 1st boat, this one has been perfect. Zero problems and has weathered some really stupid newbie mistakes.
