I am thinking about buying a Blackfin fishing boat with twim 2008 yamaha 200 hpdi with 1100 hours on each .Is this alot of hours ?

Yes. We have had our pontoon boat for 8 years and we have 400. If you live in Florida you would use boat more often, but up north you can only use a boat for 5 months.

My boat is a year old and I have about 90 hrs the one you are looking into, doing the math it average about 158 hrs a year. I guess the owner used it a lot, also you have to look into how well it was maintained. I would have someone that knows take a look at it and take it from there.

At 7 years of service that's just over 150 hours a year. Doesn't sound bad, if well maintained. Look the oil and the water separator on fuel system. If it runs well and you don't see too much corrosion (zincs replaced) routinely, you should be in good shape. Like anything else, getting the opinion of an authorized Yamaha technician would be a good back up. Good luck.

I haven't noticed that but then I never use mine on full power. mostly the 3 or 4 setting and Ive fished for 5 or 6 hours with no noticeable wear down.

Hi I Get About A Hour To An Hour And A Half With This Battery For My Trolling Motor And A Full Day With The Fish Finder Then I Have To Recharge It Just Depends On What I Use It For. Mainly I Use The Battery For The Fish Finder But I Use The Battery As Back Up Power For The Trolling Motor. Other Wise I Just Use A Lawn Mower Battery From Walmart As My Main Power For The Trolling Motor Witch Last A Day. So I Get A Full Day Of Fishing With Back Up Power In Case The Main Battery Dies. And Both Battery's Are Light So It Works Great On My Intex Excursion 4.

Not sure what you mean in the '2-3 days range'. I fish from a kayak and run 65 lb power pro w/ 60lb top shot (mono) and 60-100lb leader (fluoro). Note, before spooling the power pro I run some mono on the spool for the power pro to bite into (if I ever hook up to a big enough fish).

We use it on our 24ft sail boat for hurried operations, some fishing, and docking, etc, which we sail at least 1 weekend a month. So far we have only used 1 can and we've had the motor (which we love!!) for a year.

I have used it for two days fishing for twelve hours each day and when I brought it home it was fully charged again in a couple of hours. It uses very little juice. I have that one might use a bit more with the back light on at night. This is a great portable fish finder I highly recommend it.

Haven't used it but a couple of times so far.I used it fishing at night and it worked great for the 30 mins that I needed it for.

It all depends on if it can be mounted properly to your boat. But...I have to say this, as others have on the site: Mine broke first time out. I am getting the total runaround from Intex. They finally took my claim but after many weeks state the replacement part will take 6-12 months. They advise to return it to Amazon. Amazon just denied my claim as the unit wasn't returned quickly enough, which was due to the stalling by Intex. I would NEVER deal with these companies again!!

Everyone says they get only 5 to 10 minutes on each battery charge. My son has more than 30 minutes of fun time each use. Please ensure you are letting the battery charge all night the night before you have to use it. Great Boat. I will not even want $58.00 for it. More please!

I finally got to use the Barbwire this weekend and I was very impressed with how the boat works and the batteries lasted 15 mins with continuous high speed use even through 1 ft waves. It takes a couple hours to charge the fully dead three cell battery and I have two of them. You can charge through the 120 outlets plugin or right off of a car battery too with the connector that comes with the boat. I hope this helps anyone who wants to try this boat out for fast fun. BTW it does tip itself back over when it flips over in the water. Look for the youtube videos made for this boat.

I do 7 courts of 5 30w in my BMW like 5 minutes. I do 5-6 qts of marine 25-40 in my boat engines in about the same time. Net by the time you have the filters changed and the new stickers filled out. You will be complete

The battery terminals and clips do quite well. It had standard hex nuts, but we changed the nuts to wing nuts just for ease of use. We have a 14' jon boat and have had NO PROBLEMS with loss of power. It was a great purchase for us. Bear in mind, most of the area lakes that we go don't have strong current. Also, we typically are in "No Wake" areas when fishing.

I do not recommend this boat.... The first one we bought the battery caught on fire. The second one we got in exchange lasted maybe 5 minutes on the battery. The seller recommends charging and using the battery to build up but we just got annoyed. Sorry we sent the second back too.

Absolutely!! Check this out: www.svoctopussy.com Click on link for the dinghy. This has been an incredible purchase. Look at our June 17, 2013 blog post entitled "why I love our dinghy"

Not so much bro, you want speed? Go for the 29" or you'd have to do a lot of upgrades...Such as getting a brushless motor/escBut it's a nice boat though
