It really depends on how they're used and maintained. You can find a fair number of them on Chesapeake Bay in watermen's boats with 10K plus hours. They're wet sleeved engines, so easily rebuildable. Cummins still offers them as new rebuilds (one used part on an otherwise new engine). They can only be put in older boats that were built before the required tier engine mandate.
