Original 1977 Perkins 4.236 85 HP naturals with 2700 hrs on the hour meter. I've owned the boat for 5 1/2 years and have added 550 hours to the meter in that time.

"Working" about at the same rate. Reached 200 hours after 20 months on the JD 4045. Goal is to double that rate.
 
For every hour of engine run time, I probably enjoy another 5-6 hours of fun onboard. Love my time fishing at anchor and cruising with friends!

Hendo...did you have the crankshaft main journals ground? That is a Perkins weakness. I know of several Perkins engines that were rebuilt (by reputable dealers) with regrinding and the longevity is not so good.

Nope. The only machining was on the head mounting faces. :) thanks for the tip tho ;-)

To do that Mark you better stop that maintenance and keep on trawl'in.
