I'm in the final stages of purchasing a 263 Chase 1997. The boat is in bristol condition and was repowered in 2005 with twin 150 4 stroke Yamahas. Previous owner was hardcore fisherman and put 600 hours on them over the past 3 seasons, however half of the hours are below 1000 rpm. 131 hours between 1000-2000 rpm. Boat has never been redlined and has only 91 hours between 5000-6000 rpm.
I'm planning on extending the YES warranty, but should I be concerned about the engine life. 2 sea trials and all has worked fine.
Thanks.
