I dont know a whole lot about editing since I'm fairly new as well but one thing you can look at in Premiere is the fast color corrector which can change the hue/saturation/shadows/highlights. Just youtube it and some tutorials on how to use it will come up.
Focus problems will be hard or impossible to fix I think...at least thats how it is in Photography which I know more about. As far as keeping it steady just try finding solid places to rest your arms/camera on and use a tri-pod when not on the boat. Glidecams work amazing but they are expensive.

you could try adding a sharpen filter to things that are out of focus, but in my experience, it still looks like shit, just a different kind of shit (you will see if you try, crazy amounts of noise)

Dude your settings must be way off cause some of those shots were blown out but the highlights weren't even a bright white, more of a dull grey white. Read your manual and try to get a very neutral color setting and good exposure. Then you can easily color correct in FCP.

aye wattup first off choose any of the framerates except 60i, never shoot 60i. then keep everything about neutral(0) except for the following, Detail Level= 0,-1,-2,-3(whichever you like). Chroma Level= -2(0 is just too rich in my taste). Master Ped= -8. Then all the shit that lets you put cinelike put it as cinelike! Then always put V detail Freq as THIN, never thick, thick looks like fucking horseshit when uprezzed/cropped to 16:9, also always shoot letterbox, then crop to 16:9 in post.

also always make sure your shutter speed is double your frame rate i.e. for 24p shutter speed is 1/48, for 30p shutter speed is 1/60

sorry for the trip post, but also heres an example with following all those rules, 24pa, 1/48th shutter, it was obviously heavily graded, so its mainly just showing how easy it is to grade with the settings and the saturation was dropped a little, and the contrast wasn't messed with at all and same with the mids, yeah it was a bit overexposed, http://vimeo.com/23099754
