I have a bad feeling about winter that I will be moving snow a lot but I did get a new pair of snow shoes so coyotes beware

Somewhere out there a saltwater charter guy just stumbled onto this post and is having a good chuckle..

Yes, yes they are!

Arent most newer 4 strokes good for 10,000hrs?

No, no, no! 1000 hours and they are dead, just ask the used boat market in the upper midwest.... smh people pay big money for these motors and believe they are no good after 500 hours... I hate using hours as the standard to judge boat motors.... hate it... like really hate it.

I did the math on my warrior before i sold it using the engine printout. See below. 883 hours = 7775 miles, as you can see i trolled cranks alot...

I bought a brand new 75 Optimax in 2012. I looked at some used 75 Optimax take offs at 4000-5000 hours and still running well.
