What the most hrs ever gotten out of 1000hp. Is it unlikely to see 200hrs or are you luck to see 100hrs?? I know it depends how hard you are on them.. But on an average scale mostly cruising and moderate WOT. What can be had. Thanks Scott

07-20-2009 02:29 PMI never pushed past 120 and that was with top end done at 90.
But mine were used hard. 200...never.
100 is safe.
Never wanted to blow anything up in the very short boating season up here, or your whole season is pooched.

07-20-2009 04:12 PMWe're making quite a bit more than 1000 and usually get 160 to 180 hrs. At that point we freshen the valve train.

Brad Smith has 90 hours on these 1140s in a 36 Skater that has run 90% of their lives at 6500+ rpms. Has done nothing to them other than run the valves twice.

Good to see you here check300!
It is a 30 checkmate, single #6, with a big turbo motor. Bilge looks like the space shuttle.
One of the many fast gun lake guys.
See you at hot boat!

07-20-2009 08:05 PMYep from the same guys that swear they get 25 mpg in their 4WD diesel pick-ups on 38's chipped with 700 hp/1000 lbs of torque while towing their 40 foot boat on a steel trailer uphill both ways, full of fuel, camping gear, 400 cases of beer, 8 people in it and 500 feet of heavy duty chain aboard for their 800 lb anchor.........
