I have had this boat since april. Just started working on it again and I picked up a compression tester from a friend. #1= 25 #2= 45 #3= 25. I know the compression is really low but not sure why. Is it likely all 3 sets of rings are stuck? I took the head off and sprayed penetrating oil in on top of the pistons and let it soak awhile then put the head back on and i get the same readings. I have read that bad crank seals can cause poor compression, but what else is there that could make the compression this bad?
Thanks ahead for any help.

It's not likley all three are bad.If you damaged the head gasket then use silicone and goop it up.Re do the test with a different tester.J
