Hey yall, just pu the boat in for the first time this season and went for a warm up run. She ran great for a few minutes then I smelled something, checked my gauges and noticed the engine temp was well above 220. Figured I picked up some weeds on launch threw her in reverse and the temp came back down to 130. After running a cruise speed the temp would creep back up till I stopped and idled or threw it in reverse. After pulling into the dock I could hear water boiling in the block. Disconnected water hose from stat housing to impeller and I could blow thru it and also pulled hose to the water pump and lots of water poured out. If I was run the boat with the supply hose from the impeller off it should be a good stream of water coming out? Im guessing the impeller is shot but i think I will replace it and the stat. She ran good on the trairler with the muffs, plenty of water coming out the exhaust sat right a 130. Any ideas??? Btw it is a 1993 vip 3.0l
