Default Engine Hours

Greetings group.
I'm interested in purchasing a 1999 Chris Craft bowrider with a Volvo
Penta engine. The vessel has around 250 hours on it and I'm wondering
if that is acceptable?

Thanks

250 hrs for a 6 or 7 yr old boat is very low. That is 35 to 40 hrs a
year.

More importantly is how was the boat maintained. Ask to see service
records and have the boat checked out by a mechanic and have a survey
done on the boat. They both should be very reasonable, and can save you
from buying a lemon.
