I just bought this boat a month ago, and i am going thru this and checking everything. This boat was a drug repo by the sheriff dept. so when they took it they did not winterize it. Engine block has external crack, I used jb weld on this.<br />Oil however looks watery to me. is this normal for these engines, or does it sound like i may have a bigger problem? Oil is 30 weight.

bigger problem my guess... if it wasn't winterized AT ALL, I can't see it only cracking externally...the 3.0 likes to crack externally when it IS winterized..

Well I kinda had a feeling it wasn't gonna be good, but hey, I bought the boat at auction for $50.00 so I guess I can put a little money into it. The rest of the boat is in excellent condition.
