NOTE FROM OWNER: When we purchased the Sea Rose in 2019, it had 395 hours on the hour meter. When it was put in winter storage in the Fall of 2024, the hour meter stated 605 hours. When we purchased the Sea Rose, I was advised that the hour meter had been replaced sometime after about 300 hours; therefore, my estimate is around 950 hours. I/we did most of the regular recommended engine maintenance … filters and oil. The engine has no direct zincs.
