so much for keeping my old motor and having it put in our new deck boat.my worst fear came true today while sitting on the trailer.i was going to wash my boat today and figured i would jam down to elsinore first and run a few hot laps since i was by myself.backed in started boat was running for about a minute and all the sudden the fuccking narly knock started i shut the boat off right away.sounds like a broken crank or rod never blew a boat up sitting on the trailer friggin peice of shitt.man i think this is going to be exspensive talked to a guy about pulling motor and putting it back in when its fixed and thats going to cost me 1600.00.

1600.00 just to pull motor and install,i think it will be a least another 5k to fix the motor so i figure about 7000.00

Wasn't to bad. Cost me 2 rods and a crank. I think I spent 3500 to rebuild it and I do all my work so labor cost around a 12 pack.

well look on the brightside.At least you cant see the rod from the outside.just about every bbc i have seen throw a rod has been visible from the outside as well as the block being toast.
