Oh man! That's terrible news Willy. I'm so sorry to hear that. I have that same year motor, but the Johnson version with around 400 hours on it.
Were you premixing? If not, could have been the VRO pump failing. That same thing happened to me on my maiden voyage a few years back with the Wellcraft 250 that I eventually sold to Skools. Was cruising along nicely and same thing as you; heard that knock and engine had shut down. Pulled the hood and found a big hole in the block. My stomach dropped down to my feet.

What the? I hate that. I purchased a rebuilt 200 Merc thet let go twice, no windows in the block. Even had a Merc Master Tech put it on the dyno to get the jetting right, timing, the whole 9 yards.. We sized it up right to make sure it was ready the second time. Still stuck a piston at WOT after 20 hours breakin time. Never put a finger on it, gut tells me a bad carb. I feel your pain, bad stuff happens to good folks.
Sometimes sharing the carnage helps to lessen the blow. You will be back to riding in no time. No hill for a climber...

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.
