I take it it is a 2 stroke, if oil injected have a mechanic insure the injection system is working properly. Do not attempt to run without a set of ears for your water intake. Running a waterpump dry can ruin it in just a minute or so.

Thank you! I plan on taking it to a mechanic this week to give it a tune-up and get some suggestions. It is a very nice boat and was well cared for. I do not want to damage it due to my negligence.

Also remember your channel markers, downstream green on right red on left, upstream red on right, green on left. I live off the ten. river in NE Alabama and many of the creeks have a narrow channel but are usually marked with buoys, and many of the shallow areas have lots of rocks.
