Hey people. So I just bought my first boat and obviously have some work to do on this almost 50 year old boat but not a bad deal for $50. The hull is solid and the engine is said to be in working order. I am in the process of preparing the engine for its first startup in about 15 years and it looks to be in fine order. I am trying to find information on the engine but it has proved to be quite a challenge. From what I have gathered, it is a Volvo Penta 9440 with a Penta PZ outdrive.
Where can I go for basic "boating for dummies" information? What should I know about owning and maintaining my own boat and trailer? I am excited to get it running and take it for a test "float" this weekend provided the engine proves worthy. Thanks for any information that may be available. I think
