Remember that guy on the Yamaha Jetboaters named HMFC (something like that)? I believe he had 800 hours. Impelled should be getting close to that.

Last time at Norris (couple weeks ago) I was at 702.....for a 2006 H.O. Hoping to get a few more hrs this week. BTW- middle of this year I had to replace an impeller bearing on my port side. So I had Lodders in Cinci replace both sides while they had it. 10 yrs going strong, no real problems....besides my ass having the valves checked for spacing at 250 hrs. That gave me a water leak on an O-ring seal that I had to fix myself.

Bumping this thread to get an update from you guys. Im at almost 100 and thinking how much longer before something serious happens. I do have almost 4 years of YES warranty left. Not MR-1 related but I was in Thailand this spring and went on a snorkeling trip on a "fast" boat instead of one of the slow trawlers. I asked the guy how many hours on the engines and he mentioned over 9,000! Crazy I'm thinking but I can see it. These boats go out every single day and run for hours. By the way, this white boat you see is actually made out of wood and not fiberglass. Hull and interior seating too. All wood.

Yes - we actually spend a lot of time at anchor, but we have had a couple of bad years at the lake, we went through ramp closures due to drought, followed by ramp closures due to flood. Lakes are finally at a usable level this year so we will try to make up for lost time.

I need to find someone with a YDS to read mine. I think I've put 40 hours since March on mine.

250 hours on my 2010 SX 240. Very few at WOT. I pretty much consistently run in the 5500-6500 rpm range. Don't even ask me how many hours are on my life jacket under my ass during extended and very frequent tie-ups in our favorite cove!!!! I would venture a guess that my original 2010 life vest has over 1000 hours on it!!!!!

WOW - I need to take the boat out more. We have just under 60hrs on our 2015. Probably triple that in hours drinking beer on the boat but still. Hoping to fix that with some trips to Destin, FL this year (via the Gulf) and join the 2017 group trip to Bimini (fingers crossed)

780 on each last time I checked a few months back on my 08 Ar210. The hours had to be manually added up since the software stops at 655.3 hours.

Julian you need to get with it! We got over 54 on ours. But to be fair we put half of that on at the beach a couple weeks ago... And blew out a speaker in the process. :winkingthumbsup"
