Boat's doing about 50, the chase can do about 70. Of course you can make it go faster with more power.

Water above starter. What to look out for now?

So we took our boat out today, and the freeze plug that was replaced popped off when I went for a high speed run. The boat filled up above the starter, and I barely made it back to land.

I know...

I'm pretty sure my engine is shot. Asking around, no shop has a memory of casting plugs getting ejected and NOT having a cracked block.

7.4 mpi vs the "replacement" 383?

In a 23.5 ft bowrider, 12 years old. Only 200 hours on the 7.4.
If you HAD to, would you find a long block 7.4 to put in where the old one was, or this mercruiser 383 replacement?...

Normally I would not stick auto parts on a boat. But I really see NO difference (except 1/3 of the price) between the two. The quicksilver part has no gaskets, seals, etc, to preclude sparks. Hmmmm....

I'm sure the wires are that old also. They still seem fine, and no misses. I will change them at the end of the season, it looks like a pita, and it is going in the water for a few weeks.
