Thanks guys, took it for a ride, definitely have to be careful with the power, went over 35 knots on the gps with plenty left. Did a compression test, they were all at or around 95, which seems low to me...what do you guys think. Lower end fluid was clean. Luckily I brought my tester and the batteries aren't charging, so the guy is going to put a rectifier in, the motor just had a new power pack put in. All in all it's a nice boat, new Neptune t-top, 2008 roller trailer, and engine for $5,000. The compression bothers me though, are those numbers normal or low? Thanks, Bill
