I am new to the world of floating on top of the lakes. lol I recently bought a steury boat and was told it was like a 1967 or something. First I would like to know all the info on the boat i have. but of course i need to research but where to start? any help would be great. The metal plates on the boat are fading.. I also have a 65hp evinrude motor that came with the boat. I also would love to know all the info i can about the motor but where to start. The motor does have problem's and i rather know how to fix the problem that arise and fix myself rather then bring it in. I cant go over 10mph in my boat what the h**l... I got this boat cheap. I know I need to put money in it but i see this as my first boat and a fixer upper. I want to make this mint.. I have a 11 year old daughter that is getting into fishing and my GF too. I want this boat to fish with but also to use it for its speed. i want to water ski, knee board, and tube. I didnt get to injoy being on a boat when I was young and when I got too I knew I would want to keep doing it. I want my daughter to enjoy the water, fishing, and having fun skiing,knee boarding, tubing, but first step is too get the motor running at its peak performance. I need help. I dont know a thing about boat motors. Please help
