All cylinders should be 95-100lbs. Most important is that the are all within a few lbs. of each other.

Thanks for the reply, the guy who owns the boat that I am looking at said that he had it checked and that they ranged from 126 to 130psi. That just seems high to me?

That could be about right. What heads are on it? The numbers are on the head near the spark plugs.<br /><br />Good luck!
