NOBODY IMPORTANT

First off, thank you all for any help you can provide....I have several questions:
I just purchased an old 1972 fiberglass boat at an auction for $60.00 with a 15 hp Johnson motor. The last registration sticker on it is 10 years old. I don't know how to tell if the motor is froze up or not, but the prop turns and the rope pulls out. The model number is J15RLCCS.
1) What year is the motor?
2) Is it a 2-stroke and what would the mixture ratio be?
3) Do I need a special 2-stroke oil or can I use any?
4) Can I use a metal trash can full of water to test run it?
5) What steps are needed to prep this thing to run after 10 years? I know NOTHING about how to dismantle it to oil it or whatever is needed.
Would it be easier to just have a mechanic service it or are there some online manuals I could search? Once again, thanks for your help! I tried to attatch a picture but it won't let me......
