We sold our big boat (well, 2/3 of it) to my friend. And him and I have been working hard on her lately getting ready for the season. Keep in mind this boat has been sitting for two years since it was in last, and it needed serious work then. Well when we determined everything else to be done could be done while wet, we decided to splash it. he had to go to school the next day so I skipped and spent all day with the last minute things. Put it in the water and fire up both 350 chevys. They run fine for 5 minutes, but Starboard barely pumping water out exhaust. Then she sounds rough, then out comes a bunch of grey oil out the valve cover vent! UUGHH 
So we push it out of the launch and tie up alongside. Friend comes over and we fiddle with Port motor, only to hear nasty trans noise, like gears making some noise. My dad and I figure(and hope) that may be due to the engine actually running like crap, needs carb work and a new distributor, weve been highly reccomended to get the electronic pointless dist. Think a rough idle would make trans noise? ya know, constant slapping of the backlash in the gears. And as for the starboard side, that must either be a cracked block or head, eh? It sure filled up the crankcase quick! perhaps it could be a head gasket or something? Anyways, the boats just sitting there waiting for its bigger owner to get back from the guard, so the cops are haggling US a little. Can anyone top that? Craig
