I should have checked this site before buying my boat. I have a 1987 21ft. SeaRay cuddy (nice boat but apparent crappy engine). I took it out for first time since my winter purchase and it ran HOT after 10 minutes (250degrees).
I shut down and waited 45 minutes. Cranked and headed back to ramp. Got home and found oil to be milky. Question is where do i start, water pump seal, head gasket, camshaft seal??? Or do i change oil and sell this thing to someone else??? I know that would not be the right thing to do! Or do i find a different engine and do a swap? Alpha 1 outdrive is fine (i think).
Please if you tell me to find another engine help me figure which one would be the best reliable and easiest, cheapest price?
