Longevity of 01 honda 130

[mcbrake]

I am purchasing a 28' adventurecraft houseboat w/ a honda 01 130hp.
It has between 400 + 500 hours on it. Does anyone have opinion on the
life of this motor. It has been run in midrange rpm , being that it is not on a runabout. Also well maintained.
Any knowledge appreciated.

Do a compression test on the cylinders. That will say more than any guess of longevity.

I have been told by Honda Tech's that the motor should go 4000 to 5000 hours before o'hauls. Don't go beyond service intervals and and don't push the motor beyond it's nominal torque curve.
