Location: Warroad, Mn		I typically put on around 200 high speed hours a year (RPM 4000 and above). My dealer tells me that this is a very high number.

Mercury tells him that reed valves have a life expectancy of around 200 hours on a 225 Opti. I've had lots of reed valve problems.

There are Walleye guys who put many hours on their engines, but lots at low speed.

Engine hours are only an indicator, you need a good tech to check the engine out.
