I am new to boating and would like to know if there's a general checklist I like a PreFlight list for airplanes that I can get to check out the Carver from start to finish this would be my first Powerball and I would like to take care of it in a way that make sure that I don't harm other boaters or my family thank you

Oh there’s probably a check list somewhere. The US coastguard sites would have plenty about safety equipment but for a boat that size, probably the best you could do is pay a bit and have it surveyed. the surveyor would give it a professional going over and detect future problems if not present ones. Their signature on the documentation is a Good thing to have.
