The coolant plug came out, and she overheated at full throttle. I didn't notice until the engine cut back. I immediately killed it, pulled the seat, and had her pulled to shore.
The first couple of times I tried to start her, she wouldn't catch. Cranked the starter for a good while (no water in the cylinders though). After a while, I got her to start and run reliably. I put her on the hose, and ran her for a while. She idles around 3300, pretty rough, and water comes out the exhaust port. There's no obvious damage visible in the engine bay. I'm thinking busted head gasket, all internal. Any suggestions or help before I pull her apart?
