Baller_ RichardDoane Posted May 22, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted May 22, 2023 This boat had an unfortunate series of events lead to a cracked engine in last winter's deep freeze. It had 900 hours on it previously, but now shows just over 8 hours due to the fresh powertrain. 6.2 L closed cooling system complete with new transmission and all the trimmings. Well taken care of, and in excellent condition. PM me, or call Matt Skoog, his number is in the SIA listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller rockdog Posted May 22, 2023 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2023 Why selling it now @RichardDoane? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted May 22, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted May 22, 2023 How did it get winter freeze damage to the engine with a closed cooling system? Are the closed cooling systems running some version of coolant/antifreeze with a higher freeze point than automotive (which I thought was typically -34F to -50F)? Or, were there some excessively cold days out there that exceeded that protection level? The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears.

Baller Not_The_Pug Posted May 22, 2023 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2023 (edited) Don't know about this boat, but my 2019 6.2 motor was not closed cooling. Edited May 22, 2023 by Not_The_Pug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ MISkier Posted May 22, 2023 Baller_ Share Posted May 22, 2023 I thought that the 6.2L was an aluminum block and needed closed cooling for that reason. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RAWSki Posted May 22, 2023 Baller Share Posted May 22, 2023 The term closed cooling is really incorrect. At least the PCMs are what might be called semi closed. Raw water still goes to a heat exchanger to cool the antifreeze that flows thru most critical parts. And Raw water is used to cool the manifolds. WIthout proper draining I can see how damage can definitely occur and if a freeze was hard enough to damage the heat echanger plumbing that could be very bad with water mixing with antifreeze. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted May 23, 2023 Author Baller_ Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) @MISkier the original engine was not closed cooling system. It got really cold in Seattle at the beginning of winter. the boat had a couple of space heaters in it in December, but no one blocked open the engine compartment and opened up the observer's seat, and with the boat on a lift it froze like a popsicle. that style of engine cover that seals to the floor has a down side of no airflow. the heater core was also damaged up in front of the driver's feet but it's all good now. The Hilltop club is a busy place, and runs a boat about 250 hours a season, so with about 900 hours total on that 2019, it's time to sell it and get another Edited May 23, 2023 by RichardDoane 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ RichardDoane Posted May 23, 2023 Author Baller_ Share Posted May 23, 2023 We also just replaced the Lavorsi throttle assembly in this boat as it had developed some issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
