Hi Jake
I am not sure why the engines were overhauled in 2006 as I was not the owner then and I have owned the
boat since Nov 2011. The hour meters have always been intermittant, they
work then they stop and they are reading around 2500 per
engine so I can only assume that they were reset when overhauled. As far they go I have not had a days trouble with them. They do not smoke at all even when cold and have brought us all the way from
South Africa. Being 42 hp a side they do not need to be pushed either as they have plenty of go. I am a qualified
marine engineer and have worked on many boats, and would welcome any test on their condition as I am confident they are in good condition.
They have also had regular
oil and
oil filter changes.
Hope I have answered your questions.
Dimitri
