Is it possible to get 10+ years out of a PD if it is left stock and not dogged to shit

Probably not, but it might last that long as a stage 1 or stage 2. :lol:

Yes, you will replace certain wear items, but it will last you if you are willing to keep a piece of equipment that long.

There are still some 06 models, and older, being run. All about maintenance.

If you take care of it, it will take care of you. So will KP and company! ;)

Hours are much more important than years. If you only put 7 hours on it a year, and take good care of it, it will likely still be in very good shape 10 years down the road. If you put 2k on it a year, it will likely have been dead for a while in 10 years.

They will last a long time with proper care and maintence though.

well, parts of mine are still pre-2004, but not many. lol
on the fourth ot fifth engine since i got it, i ruined a couple with mods. changed out
several lower units and clutches. i think the throttle handle and box is still origional.

now, i don't baby it like most of the tards on here, the second brigs is still holding up pretty good with 1800 hrs on it. i had to change the heads earlier this year, they had both cracked.

as with anything, if u maintain it it will last. when u beat it on logs and wash marsh all day u will eventually replace things.
i'd like to upgrade now, just don't want to pay the money for a new one, would rather have a 90 or 115 outboard/jackplate for the same price.

if i were looking for a mudmotor, i would take my time and buy a used one with low hours.

as far as brand, get whatever u like, what works for me might not work for you. if you don't demo them all you can't make a informed decision. lol

Its refreshing to see an informative post from an old hand. Kinda cancels out a few of the posts here from the brain dead.

Mine is an '06 stock with 72 hours--all hunting hours and it's in mint condition with original everything except plugs, oil, filters, and lower unit lube which are changed as recommended. I run a outboard to fish in the summer. I plan on this PD 36 motor lasting me 20 years at least hopefully longer.

My ride is primarily a hunting rig. We go to the lake in it but only run about a mile to our spot and we swim and drink beer. No good riding up this way really. Its all clear deep water lakes, a low river that likes to eat props, or go to the hunting water and get the shit beat out of ya by stumps. I get plenty of time with the stumps during hunting season. I have no desire to run that mess for fun.

My MM rig does a lot of sitting between Feb-Oct.

75-100 hours a year at the most.
