Hold on tight for this one. Same guy buying the 2002 Amberjack 290. Bay Test coming Mid-April. Here are the facts. Both engines are original 5.0 MPI and I verified the SNs on the blocks that match the original delivery document. Broker replaced broken Tach STB and it reads .5 hours. The STB engine has 504 hours per computer. Now... The Port Tach reads 504 hours BUT the engine readout shows 1000 hours. The broker found this out on their own and is trying to get the story from the owner. Original delivery date on boat 26-June-2002
Port ECM: W9000E41 4-25-2002
Stb ECM: VI00O6M1 7-15-2003
My bay test is in a couple weeks so my mechanic can compression test and see if the port engine shows that much more "wear". Is there any plausible explanation? OR should I run for the hills. The rest of this boat is amazing. Clean, B3s are great, Kohler Gen with 100 hours, etc, etc.
