Put 375 hours on a stock 06 32 PD in 13 months and it never left me stranded!! Went through a few props (user error), broke one prop almost in two, busted a few mufflers (typical with the steel B&S mufflers), sheared a tooth or two off the lower unit, but was unaware of it - found out during routine maintenance - so it was fixed without ever causing me any issues. Buddy bought it and has exceeded 500 hours but not sure by how much...sold it to him and bought a 36.
Had to relocate shortly after getting my 36 PD and have only put 260 hours on it so far, in which I have managed to wear out a few more props, beat up my rock guard pretty good, stripped a drive coupler (also apparent user error), lost a battle once with some silt fence at a boat landing and it cost me the lower seals, burnt a PTO switch (unprotected wire - user error), broke a push rod after getting the Mikuni, recently developed an oil leak - also believed to be result of the Mikuni, and yeah, that is about all I can think of at the moment.
Notice, the repetition related to user error?? They really do build them nearly indestructible, even for idiots like me!! As already stated by some others above, I could never thank KP and everyone at Pro-Drive enough for all they have done for me, and for the product they put out the door!!
