Longevity of a 250 Verado

[Steve G]

The 250 Verado started life on a fishing hull, now on a speed hull. Has been re-flashed to a 300 and has 1200 hrs. Looks well taken care of.
I know I can get it scanned to find out how it was used but even if used sparingly how much life is left in it?

Ive read about stock verados going well over 2500 hours

If this is the case it will out live me.
Anyone have any experience with one of these? Are they good reliable engines?

We work on alot of them here. Commercial and pleasure. Just use a good oil and change it yearly no matter the hours. The racing 25w-50 is good stuff.

R u referring to the 24 progression on Craig’s?

All the marine resources boats have then around here. Alot with over 2,000 hours and a couple over 3,000. Mostly issue free, over replaced a couple upper bearing/seal housings on the supercharger and one complete charger on an 06.

These boats get run hard and the guys love em.
