Looking at a 60+ footer that's for sale. She has twin 12-71TDs. The hour-meters show over 5000 hours, which as I understand it puts the engines well past major overhaul time. The broker claims that she had both engines overhauled about 3 years ago, to the tune of over $40k. But somehow they "neglected" to reset the hour meters. Does his explanation make any sense? I have my doubts. What do you engine Gurus think?
