I'd like to get some experienced users' insights into engine life. I've been searching for a bluewater trawler for over 6 months. I have run into a quandary regarding engine life. Starting with the understanding that if the engine is maintained properly, it will last a significant number of hours. However, not everyone does this. In dealing with brokers, I routinely hear that the Caterpillar, Cummins, Lugger, etc. are all easily 20,000 + hour engines. Most hours I've ever seen on the used boat market have less than 6,000 hours. Where are all the boats with 10,000 plus hours?? We have posed this question to a few brokers and don't really get a response. What are your thoughts? I'm a newbie, go easy on me. Thanks in advance.
