I'm absolutely brand new to boats, i have the opportunity to buy an older boat with Johnson 65 on it and a trailer for a few hundred $. The boat hasn't been started in about 3 years, and it wasn't winterized. The owner said it ran fine when he parked it.
What should i be checking and looking for on the engine and the boat during the inspection? Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

Go to the top of the page in the sticky notes and read awakening a sleeping outboard. Also, welcome to iboats
