We're still running the original 2008/9 CMD 150 supplied with the boat. I was wondering how others have faired with these engines. We're at about 2700 hrs on this one. Most of the wear and tear on ours occurred in the first 400 hrs before we bought it in late 2014. Since then it's been operated 90+ percent of the time at "hull speed" with a couple hours of "cruising rpm" run to the dock at end of each trip. The engine has been pretty darn reliable once we figured out the infamous difficult starting issues in our first season with the boat. We're trying to decide whether we preemptively repower or push the envelope. Would like to hear about any other high hour engines out there and/or repowers.
