Recommendation needed on purchasing a 200 Pro xs

[toonedin]

I am looking at a 2011 200 Pro XS BUT!!!!
i am told it has 80 to 85 compression on all cylinders
498 hours. Looks like overall well taken care of

Should I buy or walk.... $5000 and a big trip to get it

Any opinion is appreciated...

What's wrong with your EFI?

zero compression cyl 1... 105 all the rest
still runs shakes allot.. got me in , was grateful off that

these "tiny" 200 hp are not available used with a 20" lower
Man, you want a 225 and up... sure but I can't use one

85 PSI is low but if they are all like that I would say the gauge he is using is off or may not be doing the test correctly. The 200 Optimax is a good motor I would get it for that deal, plenty of HP for an FS boat.

Thanks for the input. I'll roll the dice
The guy that has it is older and Not mechanical
The guy that did the check for him wants to buy it but does not have the money now for it.

Heck I've been to Vegas and have that not turn out well LOL
