I have since spoken to the guy via email. He states he has no idea of the compression. When it was last on a boat the buzzer would sound. He says "its just a big paperweight to me" and is "entertaining all cash offers".

If not too long a trip, go listen to the motor run until the buzzer sounds...compression gauges are cheap items when looking at pre-owned outboards...have you ever taken a LARGE screwdriver and listened to the bearings on an outboard?...can be quite revealing...agree on a price before you travel and be ready to pay if you like and walk if you don't...
