70s 115 to buy or not to buy

[Benny1963]

ran across a mid 70s 115 i dont know what year it is but it has power trim
and it is a crossflow wanting to know what the dry comp should be or should i deep creep and run comp check did the screw driver in the cyls trick bearings seem good .now i need to run the comp and check lower for water and shifting.any thing to look for on these motors out of the usual
thanks bennyb

I would shoot for 100 psi + or - 10 on all cylinders.
