Does anyone have any idea how many hours on average can be put on the motor before it needs to be overhauled? I was told by a friend the motor was designed to handle 4000 hours but that seems very high to me. Thoughts very much appreciated.

These questions get asked alot, and the answer varies just as much. There are so many variables to take into consideration. I've not had a motor go that high myself, but I personally know of a few sitting on boats in Florida that are upwards of 2,00-2,500, and I'm sure there's some higher than that.

Most engines are looking at about 1500-2000 hours if well maintained. Like exo stated many variables that cannot always be measured. Quality fuel, overheating events, over propped, not decarbed etc etc.
