"hey guys,
just had a mechanic do a pre-buy inspection on a 1989 sea ray i have been looking at with a 3.0 that wouldn't turn over. thought it was just a starter but turns out the freeze plug had blown and loged in the fly wheel. said he doesn't think the block is cracked (no water in the oil or signs of rust on the outside of the block) but won't be able to tell for sure until he breaks it down and replaces the plug. how likely is the block to have cracked? estimated cost $500 to repair said damage already done."
