Maintanance, that is your friend. If you find a boat with 800 hours on it, and the customer has good records it could be in great condition. My Master Craft has 957 hours on it. All 8 cylinders have about the same compression, and the engine is generally healthy. You can pull operating history from modern engines with ECU's and gather tons of information that will help you. We see some boats with 100 hours with crazy information. Like "500-1,000 rpm 1 hr" "4,500-5,000rpm 99hrs" lol)Hi-Performance engines, say 500hp+ can run 500+ hours with no issues, provided they are taken care of. 300 hours does'nt sound like it's too bad! My .02 worth.
