I have close to 400 hours on mine. I run slow a lot or idle so it is sounding rough and probably needs plugs already. Most of my runs are less than two miles. The motor seldom sees 5000rpm, I run about 42-4600rpm and that gives me 20 kts. It has been a joy to own.
One note: I was not thinking too clearly when I bought a 20 inch one to fit the transom. I should have got the longer shaft and raised the transom. My CC ships far too much water over the stern. It has not been a problem for the motor, I just do not like to see it.
