    Taking my 1984 LaveyCraft out of moth-balls

    Any compression reading above 150 means your gauge is suspect or you have oil or water in the cylinders A delco voyager distributor or a mallory YLM624 distributor Keep in mind your boat is 38 years old. Pretty sure you will have transom and stringer problems. I would focus on that long...
