No such thing as "set" engine life. It makes a world of difference if they were run hard or sensibly. Buy an oil test kit - one for each motor. At least with those results you'll have some idea of their general condition.

Boat engines are very similar to airplane engines. If property maintained, TBO is approx 2000hrs, after which time you have to measure compression, monitor oil, etc every 100hrs to see when to replace or rebuild.
