For sure, the way it was used is important. If it just cruised at midrange for long periods of time, I doubt it would have the wear and tear that a fishing motor would have had doing stop and goes all day long with a heavy load. Also, if the boat was severely overpropped it could have been wearing its guts out trying to get on plane and be full of combustion byproducts.
