How many hours is too many on a motor

[Blue_Runner]

trying to convince him to get a V-20 but I dont think he wants one....so he is not that good a friend.

LOL!!

Wilson our resident motorheads would answer this a heck of a lot better than myself but I will say that in my opinion 300 hours isn't very much at all. As you said maintenance history and also how much it has sat, not to mention where it sat and where it was used.

I have a bunch of canned questions I always ask about motors like:
1) are you the orignal owner?
2) Has there ever been any problems?
3) When was the impeller last changed?
4) Salt water use?
5) What does your wife look like?
etc.
