Took my wellcraft out for a final run today. Toward the end I stopped to make sure everything was okay, I noticed there was water running into the bilge from the transom somewhere. While under way again, there was quite a bit of vibration, so knowing something it wrong I tried taking it easy, the vibrating continued to get worse, then finally while at about 2800rpms the engine suddenly redlined with tons of smoke from the engine compartment. turned off the engine, then started back up, would have movement, but very slow and smoke, until eventually there was no move movement. I noticed however that there is no more leakage into the bilge. I have not given a look since I got it home but wanted to post here for an idea what I am going to find.
