You lucky bu***r! SR4 for free!!!! they're great boats. (if you put a console on em)
before you take it to sea I'd take the carbs off and wash them out with fresh petrol, also blow through the jets with lighter gas. dont be tempted to stick bits of wire up them.
If it's laid that long with stale fuel in it the carb can get gummed up, sods law says the problem wont show up till you get out too far to be an easy row back.
Also change the spark plugs.
As for the tilt- check the switches and wiring with a multimeter, they corrode when left for a while.
i'd reccomend getting a manual for the engine and give it a good service.
If it doesnt like choke, that suggests its running rich and wasting fuel, clean the carbs.
hope that helps.
