Don't be worried about 400hrs if the motors are stock and the hour read outs are normal operation (lots of idle time, little above 5000rpm). These motors run 1500hrs+ in cruisers. The guardian system lets you know if anything is going wrong before it can do real damage to the motor. In stock form the 496s were/are some of the best.

Like mentioned before, if the run time history is normal and a compression/leakdown test is passed, you have alot of trouble free boating ahead. Bought mine with 387hrs. Broke 500 last summer. 2 years on the Whipple Stage 2 PCM tune. Runs like a top. Keep up with maintenance and they will last.
