I don't know where I got it, or if I just made it up, but I have always compared the life expectancy of equipment with hour meters to the more relatable experience of cars with odometers, figuring 50 miles per hour.

Using that reasoning an outboard with 2500 hours would compare to a car engine with 125,000 miles. Not worn out if well maintained, but one could expect there are parts that will need to be repaired or replaced.
