High hours on boat motor??

[bassin homer]

I am looking at a '99 Crestliner with a 50 HP Honda 4 stroke motor.  The motor has 636 hours on it and they said most of it was trolling.  Is this really high hours for this motor?  What could you expect out of a motor like this?  They are asking about $9000 and it is equipped the way I want it to be.  Thanks in advance for any info.

For a four stroke that is not high hours, especially if they troll. It does seem a bit pricey for a boat that is close to 9 years old. You might want to look at the nada guides before you turn loose of your money.

Thanks for the reply.  Also, would this motor have enough power for this size boat.  I do not need to fly around the lake, but get there in a timely matter would be nice.  

Thanks again.

Unless I am missing something, you have never stated the boat size.

Yeah I forgot to mention that.  It is a 16' Crestliner Super Hawk.
