Ok, Ive been out of the fishing game for a little over 2 years now. Had a new baby and some other family issues pop up and could never find the time to get the boat out and about. So that begs the big question. What do i need to do to get the boat up and running again. Its an 18' Javelin with a 90hp Johnson. Im not some super mechanic but can do some minor stuff. Tell me what i need to check or what to have my mechanic check. Also, a balpark estimate would be good as well.

Any help you guys can offer would be greatly appreciated....

Drain the old gas if there's any in it & refill with fresh. Clean carbs. Replace the water pump with a complete kit & not just the impellor. Change fuel lines & bulbs to the new ethanol resistant lines that can be bought at any dealer. Personally for peace of mind I'd spray a mist of the two stroke oil reccomended for your motor into the cylinders to lubricate them & turn it over by hand before you ever attempt to start it. After doing all this she should be as dependable as she was when you parked her & you'll be confident you can get get back to the ramp for sure.
