overhangs, holes and imperfections

Hi everyone!
I've recently finished building my first printer, a prusa i3 kit form sunhokey. I know that acrilic frames aren't the best but they include a e3d hotend and a bowden extruder so I've chosen that.
Now for testing I've printed the 3dbenchy, you know... The boat... And that's the result.



I don't know why there isn't the top...
I've printed that in abs (the abs that comes with the printer from China, so some of the problems may be caused by that...) at 245°C, bed at 110°C, .2 layer height, 2 perimeters and 2 top/bottom layers. Speed at 55 or 60 mm/sec, retraction at 30.
Using the yellow tape and hair spray it sticks well, but the problems are the hull, and there are a lot of tiny holes and blobs around the cabin, and the walls aren't so straight.
How I can fix that? Esteps seems right, 100mm are extruded when I try...
Someone know what I can do?
