Im looking at a carerra 21' with original 454 i believe it's a '99. It has 632 hrs. Does anyone know the average life expectancy of that engine? It has been a typical family boat.

Very bottom line.....are you comfortable with what you are paying. Most Carrera's go for premium.
Is it a jet or I/O,how many owners,lots of skiers or tubers, family or "kid" owners,any past motor or drive work?
Most Carrera are heavy and require a good trailer. If it's an open bow that's a lot of vinyl to look after or replace.
The 454's are a stout engine should last a "very" long time with the proper maintenance.
Very, very bottom line.....it's really up to you. Good luck with your decision!

Thanks guys! Its a jet American turbine pump that was rebuilt last year 2500 dollars he said. Its a closed bow interior is in excellent condition. He's asking 7500 i think its a good deal considering what you guys have said. I appreciate the feedback guys

If it's clean that's a steal IMO.
