Welcome, Craigs! May I first suggest you take a safe boating course since you say you are completely new. I have been on, around, and owning boats since I was born, and when I took the PA Safe Boaters course with my kids I learned something new, or was reminded of something I forgot, every time! Invaluable info in those courses.
After that it is time to get the boat in tip-top shape. How is the floor and transom? Any soft spots? In an older boat, these are the most common areas of concern. There is lots of info in the restoration forums, as well as throughout the pages of these fora.
Welcome aboard and enjoy the new to you boat. We look forward to getting to know you and helping you enjoy your vessel.
Remember that iboats also sells everything outdoors and has a price match option to keep you supplied with the best parts and accessories at the best prices.
