"Hi everyone! as the subject
"Hi everyone! as the subject says I'm clueless about boats, but I really want to help my boyfriend out. This is the third boat he's had, 1st one got all redone and stored in a family friends garage, needless to say that "friend" burnt his garage and didnt give a sent of insurance money to bf. anyway, he recently traded his quad for this boat, i believe its a 90 ringer, the kid told him it needed new head gasket. He figured it wasn't to bad, drained all the oil mixed with water out, swore he heard knocking so he tore into it today and saw a cracked block. I believe he said it was the short block? I was just wondering if you really have to buy a new engine and if so does anyone know of anywhere fairly cheap to buy a used one. I'm going to buy him one if he needs a new one if I can find one before him lol. I just feel bad, he can't ever get ahead in life. thanks to all that do reply!
(oh by the way, its a 3.0 Mercruiser engine, 140hp.)"
