A boat takes 40% of it's HP to maintain a cruising speed. A car uses about 10% of it's HP.
Yes, I realize hours and miles are different. I have a friend with a 2002 Larson w/ only 50 hours on it, the boat looks used, although 50 hours is barely broken in.
I just would be careful about buying something/anything 12 years old. EVERY boat I've owned has had some kind of problem, mostly the brand new ones even.
