Rule of thumb, regardless of hours.
Never buy a used outboard that you can't afford to replace.
I have been lucky with buying a couple of used outboards, but they were very clean.
I have heard 400 hours on a two stroke is just about end of life, but I think that is old and 4 strokes are a whole nother beast.
