    I just recently bought a 18 ft aluminum Jon boat with a johnson 175 jet outboard. The boat hasnt ran in about 3 or 4 years, so I was wondering what could be some of the things that I am probably going to have to do to it to get it running? He seller said it ran the last time he put it up. We...
