I assume you are talking about the engines and not the boat, correct. Anyway, while not having been made for a number of years, the 454 is basically a bullet proof engine you can find in MANY thousands of boats. The 454 is also known as a 7.4. The block was made by GM and marinized mostly my Crusader, Mercruiser, Volvo and I believe a couple of others. If taken care of, will easily last several thousands of hours. Which brand engine are you looking at? While my personal favorite is Crusader, I used to have a pair of Merc 454’s that served me well. Thirsty, but great engines.

I might add, that’s a lot of HP for a 30 footer. She should fly with those engines. I used to have a 3807 with twin Merc 7.4’s (454). It was a dog that really needed diesels, but the Mercs were still good, reliable engines.
