My only real concern is the engine hours. Turns out there are about 3900
hours on the Cummins 6BT5.9-M turbo-diesels. The engines are very clean and
obviously well maintained, but I don't know how well these particular
engines hold up.

That's a lot of hours for turbos. Even if very well maintained and
presently in perfect condition, there is a rebuild or replacement
somewhere down the road, maybe at 5,000 to 6,000 hours. On the other
hand, if you don't plan any extensive cruising north/south, they might
last you quite a while. I'd get them checked out *very* carefully and
build some maintenance $$$s into your offering price.
