I hope I did well with this purchase:
Bought it locally before the eBay auction ended. Auction was up to $2921 w/ 2 days left when I made the deal.

Compression is: 130/130/125
It was hard to start, but purred like a kitten once started. Starts instanly after warm and runs well at low speed.
High speed it has a bog at 3/4 throttle but I believe I can fix it. It seems like it is fuel related. The primer bulb was staying soft and the fuel lines were hard. I replaced the fuel pump, bulb, hoses, and filter. I'll give it another try and if it still does it I'll rebuild the carbs. I'm still happy with the boat though.
