Default Buying a used boat

Im looking to purchase a used bassboat, something small that will fit in my garage so I dont have to store it and something in the 2-3k range. I found a 1986 16' glasstream with a 115 mercury on it. The guy said he completely redone the entire boat and motor last year and that the boat ran great. Replaced carpet, seats, put new tilt/trim pump on, rebuilt and cleaned all carbs, 2 livewells, duel console, redone clear coat, 40lb trolling motor, changed lower unit oil (says no water at all was in it) 240 garmin fish finder on dash. He said he had the boat set up to tournament fish so its got the large platform, no leaks. The gauges dont work because he swapped the motor out for this 115. Im planning on looking at it tomorrow, he's asking $2000.00 for it. What do you guys think about this deal? I Dont know much about glasstream, Ive owned a procraft and was pleased with it. Any ideal what the compession should be for this engine? He said he had it tested and I think he said 120 on all cyl. You guys steered me right on my first boat so any help is appreciated.
