Looking to buy 1973 Glastron, 17 ft boat in good condition, new seats and carpet, with 1973 175 hp Mercury V6...for $500.00, the boat and trailor has to be worth that along....I just need some guidance...Thanks!

Owner said boat just cut off while driving on the lake and he has not checked it out, sounds like the motor just lost it's fire...

1- I'm gonna check the compression on all 6 cyl. how much compression should be on them?

2- If I have good compression what would you check for next?


Please help....
