Baller bigskieridaho Posted October 7, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2016 With 1850 hours, how long will that boat actually go before needing a rebuild? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller LeonL Posted October 7, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2016 For me, that's just too many hours. I don't now how many is too many, but that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Orlando76 Posted October 7, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2016 @bigskieridaho I'm sure somebody will disagree but at most 3000 hours then it's just flat tired. Obviously some engines don't make it to 500 hours. 1850 isn't too many depending on how it was kept, price and the realistic frequency you will use it.

Baller ALPJr Posted October 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2016 Plenty of use left in that rig. If well maintained it should serve the average user very well for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rodltg2 Posted October 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2016 Got to thinking about this . For example it would not make sense for me. I have 1999 not a whole lot of difference between the two for slalom. I also have 1800 hours but no Zero Off. I could get close to 10k for my boat and come up with another 15k to buy that one. In my case I would be better off repowering my boat with ZO. I'd spend less and have a 0 hour boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller bishop8950 Posted October 8, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 8, 2016 At 1,850 hrs My pricing would assume I had to put a new engine in it soon. We had a well maintained engine fail at 1,500. I have seen others go 3,000. Who knows. We recently sold a 2009 with 1,850 on the hull (much more worn than the green boat here) and 250 on a new long block for $22k. That was maybe a bit cheap but we only had a few interested buyers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Booze Posted October 11, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 11, 2016 2180 hrs on my '07 196....and it's still going strong. The oil in it now has 50 hrs run time, and still looks decent (meaning, still has some translucency). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller skiinxs Posted October 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2016 Maintenance is much more important than hours. My suburban just hit 5,000 hours at 210,000 miles. Still runs strong although using a couple quarts of oil between changes. It gets run much harder than my boats at least half the time, as it is towing a boat at least half the time. (Yeah, i know, I just jinxed myself and my sub is going to blow up the next time I get in it). I would bet that out of that 1,850 hours the boat was idling at least 1,000 hours of the total time if it was used as a ski boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Orlando76 Posted October 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2016 @skiinxs maintenance is overrated with autos. My Silveradohas 199k miles, 7500 hours and hasn't had an oil change in 100k miles. But I still hadn't seen a boat with much past 3000 hours do worth a darn on a deep water start. Now some people only plan on using a boat 50 hours a year at which case I would never think twice about buying this boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ntx Posted October 13, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 13, 2016 We have found that most buyer become concerned as soon as the hour meter hits 1,000 hours. True, that a tournament boat spends a ton of time at the end of the lake at idle. But, at the same time, it spends a fair amount of time at 3400 RPM. Not to many times do you run the RPM's that high on a car for a extended time. It is hard to translate boat hours into auto miles and time.

Baller Bbrandau Posted October 17, 2016 Author Baller Share Posted October 17, 2016 To give everyone a sense of how strong this boat still is, we use it on a 1600' lake with an 8 buoy course and have no issues getting up to speed well before the greens. It has a better hole shot than most current year promos that come to the lake for tournaments. We always are looking for people to ski with if anyone wants to test it first hand!!! The price is always negotiable, but without having to go through a repower and getting a boat that has ZO that is in really good condition, this is about as cheap as it gets!!

Baller Fast351 Posted October 20, 2016 Baller Share Posted October 20, 2016 My rule of thumb for hours -> miles is to add 2 zeroes. That seems to hold pretty well. So 1850 hours is like a 185K mile car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Onside135 Posted March 20, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 20, 2017 If I were in the market for a boat right now, I'd take a hard look at this one. I skied behind it a couple of times in the summer of '15. Wake and pull were awesome, and I personally really like the colors. I would bet most Ballers would be real happy with this one...

Baller Booze Posted March 21, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 21, 2017 Note: My 2007 196 has ~2200 hours, still runs very well, and drives so well even Lyman is impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller tlarocque Posted March 29, 2017 Baller Share Posted March 29, 2017 Looks like a sweet boat in very good condition. Someone like me could probably get 10 more summers out of that boat before even having to consider an engine rebuild or upgrade. GLWS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
