Ok, the Lehmans have a post about engine hour, but what about us that have other motors.
Rochepoint has a Perkins 3.6544M (135HP) with 2980 hours, built in 1985. She has never caused any grief and never let us down with normal maintenance. A little smokey on cold startup but it quickly cleans up, burns 1.7 GPH at 2100 RPM- 7.5 to 8 Knots. 17 years ago we met the North America Perkins distributor in Princess Louisa Inlet, he told me at that time the engine would still be running long after I was gone.....I believe him.
