there any problems? What was the state of the motor like at the end of the
trip?


I haven't had any direct experience with the Atomic 4 but know that it has a
very good reputation as a gasoline engine in sail boats.

I think the intial question would be "what IS the condition of the motor at
the beginning".

If it is in good reliable condition at the beginning there shouldn't be any
reason to doubt it's ability to run for the number of hours to complete the
transit.

Remember it is not the operating hours the kill boat engines. It is the idle
and neglected hours where they suffer most.
