"The owner is now spending $12,000 to replace all of the hoses, belts and fuel filters."
I hope he is getting a lot more than that replaced for that amount of money. For a twin-engine boat using top of the line silicone hoses, Gates belts, and fuel filters, I could do that for under 200 bucks.
Speaking of belts, timing belts get old too. Recently had mine replaced on my kinda new-to-me 315 HP Yanmar which is 13 years old. Now that cost me 400 bucks to have a mechanic come to my home and do it in front of me.
Amen to lots of fuel filters for the delivery trip.
Towing insurance too.
