2016 Sx190 with 265 hours to many hours?

I’m looking at a Sx190 with 265 hours for 19000 is that to many hours?

That is a ton of hours for a 2016. Someone's been busy!

For reference my 2016 has about 70 hours but I also didn't get to boat as much last season as I had hoped.

It was a rental, and after seeing some of the up close pics of the gel coat I have decided to go another route. Thanks for the reply though.

Being a non super charged as long as the condition is good I would have said go for it. Motor wise I would not be concerned. Wear and tear is another issue.

 

[Rickey498]

Wear and tear was definitely the problem.

Just for wondering, what was worn mainly? I find older or rentals really show what our boats could look like when not cared for or just wait happens with age. It's always good to know a head of time to avoid future issues.

There were deep scratches going up and down each side, and a nice size hole in the gel coat on the very back of the boat next to the swim deck.

For the same reasons one should not buy a rental car, the same applies to any boat. There are too many well cared for used ones on the market, to buy a rental jet. By the way, do not fear buying a used Yamaha, so long as it was not a rental.

Bought a 14’ SX190 last week.

I had no idea anyone rented out jet boats. That's awesome!

The more hours the merrier! I would look at the physical condition more than the hours.

I was Systems Administrator for a Auto Group. The best joke for rentals was..

Q: Whats the differance between a rental and a Hummer? A: A rental will go anywhere!

Have some friends with 125hrs on their 2017 Centurion. So 256hrs for a 2yr old boat doesn't sound completely absurd to me.

We only managed about 48hrs last year on ours though, and I would suspect that is closer to "average" usage.
