A friend of mine is a commercial waterman here in Maryland. He has a small but heavy workboat that he runs 5 to 6 days a week. He has a 351 PCM motor. Basically the same motor that a lot of us have. He just replaced his risers at 10,000 hours. Granted a lot of his hours are spent trolling, but it usually runs under a load. The motor still fires right up, and runs like a top. Who knows how long one of these things can last?
