thanks guys, will fill in any details as I find them out, on the water test wont be a problem as the guy lives right on the water, will have to take it to my work to test the compression, the only thing I told my son was that most likely that motor is gonna like gas and the boat has a 32 gal tank and he would be out pretty good each trip if he fished it much but hey its his money and I cant tell him what to do, only advise him and ifn any of you got sons you know about how much of it they listen to
