I guess the very first step will be to do your own compression test, then remove the plugs and see what the low comp one looks like, then remove head and see if there is any obvious signs of bore or piston damage, that should keep you busy for a while, then get back to us with the results.

thats kinda what i had in mind you cant trust to many people these days .and yes what did cause 1 piston to go bad i alway figure if 1 part went bad theres a reason for it from what they told me this boat sat in a airplane hanger alot ,these people got some $$.but they never did anythig but com check and i think that came up when they went to sell it for 12000.and the guy backed out but thanks for the feed back guys i will get back to you with details much appreciatied..
