Diesel engine hours

Just joined TrawlerForum yesterday... great site!

I'm starting to think about purchasing a Trawler, and know next to nothing about them at this point.* I currently have a 33-foot Cruisers Express.* I have in mind something in the range of 36 - 40 feet, single diesel.* Primary use would be week-long cruises on the TN River systems, and considering the loop at some point.

I don't know much about diesel engines yet.* As I'm looking at used boats, I'm looking at the engine hours.* In general,*at about how many hours would a typical diesel need to be re-built?* What is considered the reasonable lifetime of a diesel, in terms of hours?*
