Thanks Capt. Larry. I'm not knowledgeable about these engines (or engines in general) and I read about the numbers I posted on a fishing site I have not been able to locate again. The info I have received on walleye forum has been to the best of my knowledge - excellent. Do you think - as a general rule - the hours on the engine are more significant than the age of the engine - is a 1990 with 1800 hours in better condition than a 1995 with 2100 hours?
