I just bought a 1989 Webbcraft with only 136hrs on it from the original owner. I'm cruising along at about 25mph (after putting two hours of mild run time not skiing or tubing just crusing at low speed) and all the sudden it loses power and stops. I tried to restart and it just clicked and did not turn over. I was towed back to shore and installed a new battery to hear the same thing. It sounds to me that the motor seized up? Oh by the way all the my guages showed fine when this happened. I took it to the marina mechanic and he said he thought it was locked up as well but would do a few more checks before he condemned it. Also the boat had been stored in a heated garage and has sat since last summer. If indeed it is the motor seized up what could have caused it and how much are we talking to install a new motor? Also could I step up to a Vortec 350 with what I have or would it be best to stay with the origingal motor configuration? <br />Thanks in advance for all of your help! Again!!
