Take those claims with a grain of salt. You have no way of knowing what was done to that engine or when it was done.

This is hard, lol
I know.

I agree. I have heard the same things your saying. I have twin stock 1997 502mpi Mags which never been touched internally that are pushing 1000 hours. I bought the boat 11 years ago with them in it at 230 hours and notice no loss of performance ,top speed etc. They also use no more oil then when I got them and same oil psi. Just tune ups, oil changes, impellers, and changed exhaust riser gaskets. I mostly run them in the 2800-3400 RPM range, but do run them up to w.o.t. frequently too. I personally know some of these engines running at 1400 hours untouched.
