I have to question your tach. I can't imagine that boat making 55mph with
any kind of prop at 3000 rpm and a v6. Check the back of your tach and see
if it has an 4-6-8 switch. If so it should be on 6.

Yeah, it doesn't sound good at all. There wasn't any oil in the bilge
and I even checked the dipstick after a while and it was still good. I
think I might go with the crate engine if I can get somewhere around
the same price. But my fingers are still crossed that it's not that
major.
