No way to tell unless engine has hour meter installed . Based on the average boater going out every weekend you may find that 100 hours per season is the norm.

You know how you can find new words by adding or removing letters in a word? You can find the real answer, if you take the "F' out of 'Way'.
The only thing an hour meter will tell you is how many hours are on the meter. What is more important is the engine's condition. If you were looking to buy I would suggest consulting a pro. That would still be a good idea though because there are very few sudden failures, They come on slowly and the sooner you catch a flaw the cheaper it can be.

Some of the newer engines have built-in data recorders that store operating hours and other information. The information can be accessed with a mechanics code reader or a "smartcraft" gauge. Unless it has ben re-powered, an '87 boat would not have that feature.

you will just have to decide based on condition
