so all you know i have been having problem after problem with the aquaholic. they boat is brand new now. the only thing left is the hull that was not rebuilt.

so anyway this weekend i get out to the river early hook up a new started and finish off the stereo system. it sounds bad ass by the way. so sat morning. i fire up the boat a couple times to make sure it starts. it has never ran better. we load the boat up and head up river to set up camp for the day. i get about 3 miles start hearing a noise then the boat just shuts off. i lift the engine cover and hear a bubbleing sound coming from the oil pan. i pull the oil cap and i see water in the oil. so i am like here we go again. we sit in the boat till we float back to camp thanks to the current. so i fire it back up to get it into the boat ramp area. And i have one hell of a mean james bond smoke screeen behind the boat. it drew quite the crowd. so i pulled the boat out and told it to screw itself i am going to enjoy my weekend. so i launched my jet ski and enjoyed the rest of the weekend.

i am heading back to the river on wed night. so i was just wondering if any of you old timers knnow what happend to my boat. that motor probably does not even have 10 hours onit yet. i was running it at about 4krpm when it went and all guages seemed to be normal.

is it normal to not be able to enjoy your boat. i hope it get better or  my first boat might be my last. i have much better luck with my sand toys.

the motor was done at a place called j and j up in ridgecrest ca. these guys rock i dont think it was an assembly problem. if we find that they my work with me on getting it rebuilt. I noticed some oil dripping from the right side exhaust so i am going to pull that head first. i just hope it is a head gasket. i dont want to pull the motor again. and if it is only the one side that will make my work that much easier.

maybe too much water pressure? do you have a regulator? I am no mechanic, but I hear that too much water pressure is one of the leading causes with boats that have water in the oil.

i will be pulling the heads on thursday.. i will let you guys know. should i rebuild the motor again. or buy a crate motor and just drop it in..

i just want the boat to work.. is that too much to ask..ahhhh

hey tony was it making any noise prior  if theres oil coming out it could have popped a hole in the piston  but it still sounds like a  head gasket ill be there fri ill stop by camp

i hope it is a gasket problem. there is no way to tell until i get it apart on thurs.

i will be waiting for you to stop by denis. i am sure my boat will be well taken apart by the time you get there. i found crate motor marine 454s online for 2k with a warrenty.. that might be something to look into. they also have free shippin...

anyway i am not going to let this boat beat me.. i know i am smarter than that thing..hahahah.... see you guys on the river this weekend.
