Default Merc 5.0: Not run since '02

Barring any sentimental attachment to the boat, I vote for sell. If it
wasn't stored properly, you have a pretty good indication that it wasn't
cared for properly, and may have even have been abused.

I have inherited a 1992 2452 Bayliner Classic. The boat was stored in
2002 and not fogged,etc. The boat did not have any problems and it was
stored in a covered environment. The electrical and hydraulic system
test OK.

I"ll drain/clean the gas tank; install new fuel/air filter; change
plugs and oil before starting.

Any more preventive maintenance items before I "turn the key"?

I may keep or sell.

Thanks
