I wouldnt buy a hpdi  at that age ( specially if you have to pay a mechanic to do any work needed ). I been lookin at US boating forums ..... not that I value their opinion that much , just that there is a lot of opinion , might be worth a look at the service/repair section to see if you can gauge longevity / reliability  from their input .
And  just while we are here  ......dont buy one of them Johnson Ficht motors either LOL

I'd be more concerned about the age of that motor rather than the hours.]]> Sun, 05 Jan 2025 05:45:27 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138971&PID=1841589&title=how-many-hours-is-to-many#1841589 <![CDATA[How many hours is to many? : Thats the problem with older motors,we...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138971&PID=1841577&title=how-many-hours-is-to-many#1841577 Author: Pcj

Thats the problem with older motors,we dont use our vessels enough as short trips to catch a fish unlike overseas,my 90hp mariner 2005 155hrs which we put 55hrs on in 2yrs,short trips. todays motors 1500/2000hrs?]]> Sat, 04 Jan 2025 07:32:09 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138971&PID=1841577&title=how-many-hours-is-to-many#1841577 <![CDATA[How many hours is to many? : Morning all.

Morning all. Just looking at getting a new rig which will be second hand.
Just wondering what age and how many hours on an engine would start to be of concern to you. Seems to be a lot of conflicting info out there regarding this.
Particular engine on the boat in looking at is 2002 Yamaha hpdi 200 that has done about 500 hours. ]]> Sat, 04 Jan 2025 06:58:44 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=138971&PID=1841575&title=how-many-hours-is-to-many#1841575
