I've got a 1990 Galaxie ski boat with a 5.7 in it. First year I had it on the water, did great. We ended up getting a very early freeze that year and it wasn't winterized and cracked both sides of the exhaust. Replaced all of the exhaust and risers, took it out on the water and it ran great for a bit (about 3 - 5 minutes), then got more and more sluggish before dying completely. Got it out, looked it over and realized there was water in the oil. I can still bar the motor over manually. Haven't done anything with it since, trying to figure out the best way of diagnosing the problem and what steps I should take.
