1991 Monk 36 with original Cummins 6BT 5.9M (220 hp) with 8655 hrs on it. Assuming it was well maintained, is that a lot of hours? For a boat that is 29 yrs old, that does not seem out of line to me. Roughly 298 hours per year. The boat was definitely used though; it did not sit at a dock.
I know diesels, in general, can go many tens of thousands without issue, but I know next to nothing about Cummins engines. I know it's an inline 6 with a good rep and seems the BT means turbo charged.
I am awaiting a response from the broker on the state of the fuel tanks, whether it's a one owner boat etc...
Thanks for any input.
