By chance have you run a compression check on it? That might be an indicator of the extent of damage. If it isn't getting lubrication, and like CAT says slowly starts to get hot from the extra friction it might still run because all of the metal parts expand just a bit as they heat up - but when it cools down and the metal shrinks it might expose some chafing of the cylinder walls and pistin rings that would show up in a compression check. Mayb CAT can tell you what would be acceptable readings for an older outboard.
