bad engines

[caverun man]

I know im not in the right thread but cant get in the mercuiser thread. I have thrown a rod thought two engines. The first was a 2002 Rinker with a 96 hours . The engine is a 5.7 300 hp brovo 3. That time my top blowed back so I pulled back on the gas real quick and bang rod thought the block. This time it was the same motor size in a 250 Rinker Cabin cuisers with 390 hours but this time i had to go out of forward to revese real quickly to avoid another boat come at me. No damage to the outdrive but a rod out the oil pan. Would going from forward to revese quickly blow a engine.
