Good day,
I don't post much here, but respect the opinions of most members. Have a boat question for the experts here. I'm looking at a nice boat with a 525 with 390 hrs, I understand that the valvetrain should be refreshed at around 250 hrs. This one has never been touched, should I steer clear? Pull the trigger and have the valvetrain done? what kind of life should be left in this motor? Not wanting to spend 50K on a boat and immediately have to drop another 5-10K on engine work before the boat ever gets wet.
Thanks in advance,
Jim
