----[Please read http://ercoupers.com/disclaimer.htm before following any advice in this forum.]---- It might still go a lot further. Generally I think they say 1800 hours but usually on these they are overhauled long before that, with years rather than hours being the catch. My neighbors was done at just 250- and over 30 years! Factors seem to be that people don't fly them enough - that is the big trouble - and also overhauls that included parts that barely pass. I will say that the whole time I was shopping for one, I never saw a C75/85 with more than 1200SMOH and all of them over 800SMOH had been top overhauled at least once. I don't doubt that in a flight school type environment where they fly a lot they would do much better. Flight schools sometimes go way past TBO. Another factor is fishy hour meters on a lot of these planes. I would not worry - if the pressure is good and the compressions are good, then it should keep on for a long time to come.
