#1 cylinder gives a hint that maybe some water got into that cylinder and
sat, causing some corrosion. I'd run it, check the oil condition frequently,
and hope, if the corrosion isn't too bad, that it gets better after running
it for a few hours.

The 35 hours figure comes from a digital read from the engine. Based
on the condition of the boat, I believe it. Its been stored in dry
dock and in excellent condition.
Why didn't I question it? I'm an idiot, I guess - and I didn't note
anything from the sea trial.
My question is... what are the common causes of low compression, how
much $ to fix, and is it something that I need to address right away?

thanks
