Sounds like you dont know the history of the boat. I would fill with water and look for leaks. Then start engine and add more water after it warms a bit. Add via the radiator cap not the overflow bottle. You can leave the cap off for this but if after you put the cap on it gets to normal operating temps then do be careful removing the cap.You may have to put it in gear to get warm. If the water shows no sign of leaking then you should be good for a test run. I would not plan a long trip without a sea trail. There are lots of things that need checking after three years. Doesnt sound like the boat is "ready" in the ER space.
