[QUOTE="richg99, post: 256959, member: 4376"] Well, as far as compression vs running....my trusted mechanic of at least 15 years...told me that "If you can't do a compression test .. a motor that runs well, on the boat, on the water, is probably fine." Sounds like you are good to go. Oh, I agree that this guy probably took advantage, but the costs to reverse things..and then go looking for another boat/motor...just don't add up. If he was down the block, I'd have given him the boat back and gone and paid MORE for another one...but...he isn't. Sometimes, and ONLY sometimes... the practical has to over-come the principle..... regards, Rich [/QUOTE]
