    9.9 nissan hasn't been started in ~10 years, what to do?

    I just bought an 1987 14' smokercraft and some of the cross supports are broken. How much of an issue is this? Can I use it safely for the summer? How hard would it be to fix? The middle seat also is not connected anymore at the center brace, how can I re-affix it? Also it has a small leak...
