Was this the first time out for the year after a drive service? If so it is common for the level to drop.

I would pressurize the drive and see if it holds.

Person you bought boat from may have had it serviced. Thus reason for being low on oil. Fill it back up and watch it. If it goes low again you have a leak. The leak I had was leaking into the standoff box.
