Took her up to Jordan yesterday afternoon just to let her eat some good ole high test. She still runs like a scolded gorilla.
Here is the most recent YDS sheet.
As you can see, over 1,000 hours was below 1,000 rpms. Slow speed trolling for stripers and kings. She has not been run hard, but will run hard when you want her to. 1274 hours is nothing for one of these motors. I have friends that have over 4,000 hours on their 4 strokes, still running strong.
Meticulously maintained.
