Default poll: life expectancy of mid-range 4-strokes

I vented about my 100hp Yamaha oputboard with 900 hours on them, both,
requiring major engine repairs in another thread.
I got a very humorous reply about how I "must have bought a lemon".
BWAHAHAHAHA.

Got me thinking though, is 900 hours a lot of hours for a $8000-9000 engine?
Maybe my expectations are too high. But darn, if I put 300 hours a year on
my boat, should I only expect the engines to last about 3 years? Is the
very funny gentleman who replied correct? Should I cash in my ocean going
lifestyle for a set of golf clubs?? :-(
