Is 88 - 92 lbs. per cylinder satisfactory for this motor or is that low? I am thinking about buying this boat with this motor.

LOW! It may be tired! Try another (known good) gauge just in case.....

When in doubt, have a leak-down test done.

I have the same year and model motor. I have 120 on each cylinder. So I would say it is low, but I am far from a cert. mech.

120 is average If it's sat up for a while the rings may be sticking Is 88 - 92 lbs. per cylinder satisfactory for this motor or is that low? I am thinking about buying this boat with this motor.

One other thing some overlook is that tha rings lose they'er tension (ability ta hold to tha clyinder)along with wear over time. Thats why a very slight hone and new rings may bring it back up. Tha clyinders may still be fine........
