02' GTX 951 life expectancy?

[VetteTech81]

How many hours do these last for? I'm looking at one that has 111 hours. It has 135 & 140 PSI compression on the cyclenders.. how long do you think this will last for?

Thanks,

take care of it and it will last for ever. things will break just fix them. I ride a 95 xp at least 12hrs a week and I ride it hard. I go through motor mounts like a fat kid through cake but my ski has never left me stuck and still has the original motor.

Well, i guess it's just like buying anything used it's a gamble as to how well it has been cared for...

BINGO

I have seen them puke at 60 hours & have seen a few with 200 hours.

I'm just on the fence I want to get rid of the 95' xp and buy another 3 seater.. And so I've been looking for a nice GTX because I want a little more power but not crazy.. although the GTI's with the 720 seem to be much more reasonable to repair...

I went through my 98GTXltd @ 400 hours. It was still running fine, just a little loud.. Felt I was poking fate with a stick

Buy it! I had one...and loved it. The ex got, tried to sell it back to me overpriced, and ended up selling it cheaper to someone else. Prettiest color combo too...IMO. Hull is the best in the chop too.

Isn't the hull basically the same as my 02' GTI? I'm looking at another 01' GTI 720 as well as it's a little less expensive and at a private party...

Yes, the hulls are identical, but the fun factor is drastically reduced with the smaller engines. My uncle had a 97 GTI (720) and it was a bulletproof boat. Nowhere near as fun though...

True... I'm slightly torn..
