Do you know what the compression numbers are?

I would start with two items:
(1) A pressure test of the engine and manifold.
(2) Did the survey you mentioned in post #1 include look at the underwater part of the boat? If not a dive under the boat, by you or someone else, to survey the underwater metals - in particular the shaft, prop and strut. When a boat has been ignored like this one I would be suspicious of damage to the underwater metals if the zincs had not been replaced as needed.

As I mentioned free boats are usually not free.
