That's a solid plan...I also was leaning towards the block being cracked but was hopeful. The thermostat hosing has been pulled at the moment. I will let you know in a couple of weeks what I find out.
Well I know the winterizing went well, as I probably did more than what was required as we had zero snow. But I did get the boat as a project boat and it is definitely possible that there issues prior that didn't show up until now. But thank you...as I was also worried about a cracked block...
(Still a new boat owner) So I took the 1999 Bayliner Capri out for a test run after dewinterizing it...(btw it ran fine the year prior and located in the southeast)...was on the water for a good 15 minutes waiting on my wife to park the trailer with no issues. I picked her up and was cruising...
