Pascoe's numbers are probably not that far off if we only include pleasure boats (no fishing charters or anything). And include all of the many, many small, cheap boats that get very poor maintenance and have engines that die early deaths as a result. And all of the boats that do lots of sitting and might run 20 hours per year with correspondingly poor maintenance. It also includes speedboats and sport fishes that get run flat out a lot and wear their engines out quickly.

If you factor all of those situations out, the well maintained and reasonably operated examples (both gas and diesel) will run much longer.
