No idea what happened, every thing was running like a top.
No smoke, no noises until running at normal cruise about 3800 rpm and then splat.
I would think where the hole is I threw a rod. ByGrace that is the same thing you had I guess.
Now I have a big quandary, put a new motor on costing 14-18 thousand for a big block four or two stoke. On a fifteen year old boat? that even after I do it will only be worth about 10 grand.
Take a chance on another used engine that I know nothing about? for who knows how much.
Or spend thousands getting this one with a new power head rebuilt?
I like the new idea but really can't afford it.
I'm not a happy camper right now that is for sure.
