Well, we have managed to inherit something that we have no clue about. That's right, we are now "boat people". Tony and Shelly graciously offered us this boat which they no longer want. Tonight we went out to Shelly's parents house and picked it up, towed it home, and stepped back to scratch our heads. We don't know the first thing about boats. I think it works, but I'm not even sure how to go about getting it tuned up or tested out.
That being said, the few times I've been boating I have absolutely enjoyed it and I've always had a secret wish to be a boat owner. So maybe something will come of this if we can get over the learning curve.
The boat is a Hydro Swift Mercruiser - with a big motor. That's about all I can tell about it. The interior is a mess and the seats are falling apart. There is no windsheild. But there are two sets of skis and some life vests, and the hull looks sound.
If you have any general boat knowledge, please feel free to leave it in the comments for us. We need to glean every little tidbit we can about our newly inherited hobby.
