Just picked up this Beachcraft. Nice boat overall. Owner said it was not winteized properly and had water in oil, got home and saw no water. What would i want to check first if this was the case? Thanks for any help. Its an 3.8 liter v6 believe general motors.

Water in the oil will look like foam on the dipstick. Does it run? Water in the oil could be from a cracked block....not good. What have you checked so far?
