Default motor hours
In general, what do you consider being too many hours on a used outboard?

Specifically, what would you consider to be too many hours on 08' 300 Verado?

You mean ALL verado's? Just had one show up the other day with 135 hours on it with a locked up supercharger and crankshaft seal blown. 6,000+ dollar repair.
