I just bought a 88 pontoon with a 40 horse johnson on it today for $500. It starts up and cruises at low speeds fine but when you give it full throttle it spits and sputters until you back off. im picking the boat up tomorrow and plan on pulling the plugs and checking them out right away and checking compression. the guy said the plugs are most likely original and that it sat for 8-9 years before he started it up on old gas last year and this problem started happening. Im going to fill it up with premium and seafoam before running it and change the plugs. any other maintenance i should do before putting it in the water?
Thanks in advance
