Boat Preparation

[FishFry]

With the weather finally breaking and fishing season coming into full effect, what do you all do to prepare your boat? I want to have mine serviced before the year starts to ensure I will be able to do plenty of fishing this season. What all does this entail for you? Also, I am located in Louisville so are there any places that you all suggest I take it? Thanks in advance for any responses.

What Embrey listed is great. One thing I add is a carb cleaner/additive to the gas and wait until after the 3rd outing to change the spark plugs. Otherwise, the carb additive will make your new plugs worse than your old ones after the first time you start the motor.
