Im worried about the 500hours but the price is fair and the boat is working well.

What do you guys think about buying a 500hours SAN?

thanks

It all depends on how the boat was maintained. For as long as the SAN has been around that number of hours could represent very little usage. Just remember it's a Nautique!! Do you know a good dealer in your area? You might want to have them check it out. The only real thing that could be wrong is with the mechanicals, the hull should be rock solid. Just my two cents. You should really post a year and price for us to give you any idea if it's a good buy or not!

I would run a simple compression test, but I have run V-8 inboards in excess of 2000 hours without a single problem outside of normal maintenance.

31 for an 01 is cheap, Ive got 521 hours on my nautique and it stills purrs like new everytime. Go for it if its in good conidition.
