266 hours, 9 years old - a lot or no?

How do you guys feel about 266 engine hours on a 2009 boat ?

That’s nothing.
Average use is 80-100 year.

Not an issue as long as it's been well maintained.

Nearly new. It has sit a lot.

cool I was "calculating" days used over 9 years, 2.4 hours a month - every month though.

thanks for the replies!

Not necessarily. Take mine for example. Only 60 hours in a year and a half and I use it 2 to 3 times a week year round. Local lakes are small so it don’t run long to reach where I’m going.

In spite of the low hours, I would have the motor checked out by an independent, including a compression check. That will also tell you if it needs carb rebuild. A lean sneeze at idle will also tell you a lot.

compression does tell all

what do you guys consider high, or mid-high hours ?

350-400 mid high hours. Some motors last well past 1,000. Some pop before 200. Depends on how it's maintenaines, & how it's used (or abused).

ok thanks very much!

This

TMD11111 that comes out to 20 minutes a trip. Boy that is a small lake ,backing off trailer and putting on trailer
to and from fishing spot. Don't think that would be normal. LOL.

well, thanks for the education! the boat I was looking at, is off my list now

It is when the lake I fish is only 11% full. Yes we're hurting for water out here.

I consider my 2006 yamaha with 550 hrs on it low hours

The average hours a year are 40 so I would say no
