I am having a few problems with my boat, help me out!
65 HP Mercury Outboard.

1.It seems like the motor isn't getting fuel or something. If I run the boat fast and then stop it takes me forever to get it started again.

2.I have to have two passengers set in the front of the boat for it to get any speed.

3. Sometimes it won't throttle all the way, with or without passengers in the front.

I have a 4HP Evinrude (1976) that has a good motor and cowlings, but the exhaust housing needs replacing, will a 5HP Johnson (1968) lower unit and exhaust housing fit, from looking at the pictures it looks like the same mounting hole pattern.

I just inherited a 15 ft aluminum canoe with wooden paddles. The paddles are in pretty good shape, just need a little tlc. What little paint is left on the canoe is faded, and there is none at all left on the bottom. What is the best and cheapest way to repaint? I am sure I will need to sand and prime first, but no idea what the best products would be.

Is it because they don't form tight seals around the holes ?

I'm interested in being able to take it on small local lakes, as well as trailer it up to big lakes like Rainy. I'm thinking a 16ft Lund w/ motor& trailer for around $2000. I want to be able to throw the wife, kid, and gear in and go for 4 night camping trips.

1. How much horsepower do I need to be able to plane-out with that load?...the flip side is I don't want too much horsepower because of fuel prices.
2. What are some of the pitfalls to watch out for with the boat/motor/trolling motor/trailer?
3. Are there some quick checks I can do to verify the engine age and reliability, boat leaks, trailer condition, etc.? I assume I would need to take it out on the water prior to purchase?

I don't want to buy a lemon. Thanks for the help.

I am interested in getting into fishing and possibly buying a boat. I've been looking at various offshore boats that are equipped with outriggers... what are these outriggers used for? Thanks for your answers.

The ribs I am talking about are the long horizontal wooden sticks that go from the stern to the bow of the boat.
