It won't come out of gear or nothing happens when you try to start the engine?

Re: Can't find neutral
If you manually move the lever into the neutral detent and the shaft continues to spin, you likely have stuck clutch plates. Check the oil to ensure it's clean and at the right level. Short of that, it's likely a teardown to fix the problem. Could be warped plates, or a control valve problem.

Really depends on maintenance history, how the boat was used over the years, etc. more than anything. If they were always well maintained, they should last a long time, poorly maintained; not so much. While I don't stress too much about the number of hours on an engine, it's a good gauge on whether that time is soon approaching.
Why are you asking? Do you have a runability issue? How many hours on her? If you're wondering about her condition, a compression test, vacuum test, etc. will tell you a lot.
