I've had well cared for engines worn out in 2 seasons of moderate usage and others run for 8 years without a blip. Hindsight is that overpropping a motor is an expensive mistake. Even a well worn motor will sometimes have fairly good compression, I've found that comparing WOT RPM will often show a couple hundred RPM loss before it's significant enough to show in a loss of cranking compression.
