I looked at it tonight. Very solid boat. The hull and components were outstanding.
I have some questions about the 225 Johnson which are to be answered and I will go from there.

It's a big, smoky, noisy, thirsty pig of an engine, not much else to say other than also known for being reliable(carbon buildup in the ring lands is the biggest known killer of them). Compression should be around 105-110 if it's a 94+, roughly 90 if it's a 88-93, and around 90-100 for a 86-88. To bad you don't still have your ETEC to slap on it.
