Hi - Looking at a private sale for a 2010 Ranger R29 with 2200 hours on the clock for its Yanmar 6BY2-260 diesel engine. It's a 1 owner boat - looks to be decently maintained, all mtce records are available. Of course - will do a marine survey and sea trial before purchase if I decided to move ahead?
I know generally diesel engines can go thousands of hours more than say a Mercury gas engine. It seems to me that any boat with 2200 hours will have seen a decent amount of use, vibration, stress on structure, etc.
Is something like this with these higher hours even still worth considering? For other high hour diesel owners - should I be concerned?
FYI - I've been in boating a few years so understand about regular mtce, inspections, etc.
