4000+ and she purrs like a kitten (and belches and wheezes and spits and produces the occasional unidentifiable but quite intriguing flatus).

We are coming close to closing on our 1980 424 ketch. The boat has a Westerbeke 58hp with 2500 hours. I’ve only dealt with the Yanmar that came new with our other boat. Questions:

Is this a reasonable hour usage for the engine or are we coming close to major refit? What is considered a “high” hours total on this engine?

Thanks
