Probably 1500+

Totally depends on maintenance. could be shot at 300 hrs or strong at 900.

Compression & leak down test and oil lab report best way to tell.

All depends on how well maintained it is and how abusive the previous owner possibly was.

Depends on what preventative maintenance is done. A good friend had over 600,000 miles on his last car (Subaru Legacy). Car was in tip top shape, you wouldn't know it had 100,000 miles on it. He was a fanatic about maintaining it, and it showed.

Same with boats. Look at the maintenance records (everthing thing was recorded, right?).
