What is considered a lot of hours for a four stoke. Looking at a 2002 F225 with 600 hrs. Thanks

if its been correctly maintained its barely broken in.
if its been rode hard and hung up wet its junk.

Is there any way to tell or do I just take it to a mechanic? What do I need to check? Compression? Leakdown? Thanks
