You need to do a leakdown test on it. Much more accurate in gauging the health of your cylinder bores than a compression test.
BTW...the target # is indeed all cylinders within 10%...not 20%. Make sure the motor is warm when doing a compression check. 20% would be pretty alarming to me in an engine.

Have you tried Google?

Figured the trim out and got it working. Purchased a fish finder for the bow, "Lowrance Mark 4"  Was given a nice older 24vlt motorguide trolling motor today as well. It's coming along nicely. On a side note, the wife brought out the magic eraser today. It cut right through the oxidation on the interior of the boat. This damn thing is going to look brand new when I get done with it

Oh, got the trim working on it too!
Whats left:
-Finishing removing the oxidation on the inside and a little more work on the exterior of the hull.
-Cleaning up the gas tank area (Gas tank is removed)
-Installing new pumps for the livewell and bilge.
-Putting in new gauges and some new wiring.
-Hooking up the steering (might spend some extra money and go hydraulic)
-Hook up fish finders and trolling motor
-Put in the new carpet.
-Register the boat and hit the damn water.
I'll restore the trailer sometime this winter (It's going to get sprayed with rhino lining).
Oh and I have to change out the water pump and install a new stator.

Carpet arrived for my boat today, naturally while I'm away on business  Can't wait to get it thrown in and start on the wiring job.

You gonna keep it for your own use, or sell it so you can start another project?  I'm keeping it for now. Now if I win a few BFL tourneys next year, I'll sell it and get another one. Which division are you fishing?

The carpet is a pain in the arse to do. Especially when you have lids etc. I've got 1 lid left and the main floor to do. After that, everything else should be smooth sailing. Money is making me take it slower than I would like.

About 3 years ago, my house burnt to the ground. My stratos was under carport, me and my daughter were able to get it about 30 yards away from house by pushing and pulling. I had just redone carpet about a month before fire, all the stuff flying in the air burnt spots all in the new carpet, ended up having to do it again, what a bitch. But, at least my boat didn't burn up. Still have it, and fish at Lake Jordan mostly.
