[QUOTE="Davey Crockett, post: 220829, member: 367"] So I bought a 1988 Lund Baron with an Inboard 4.3. V-6 Very nice well kept boat and the seller has a mechanic shop and I was assured the boat has low hours and no issues. First trip out I idled around for a while and watched the gauges all normal, Throttle up on plane and went about 1/2 mile Gauges still normal then throttled up for a 100 yard dash to my fishing spot and when I throttled down it had a miss and made an internal sound almost like the exhaust on a vehicle with a bad valve. Gauges still normal. Shut it off and trolled for an hour and hit the key and it purred like a kitten. Idled around, No issues, got up on plane about 1/2 mile and it did the exact same thing so shut it off and brought it home and found 4-1/2 quarts of water in the oil that wasn't in there before so I drained/changed and put muffs on 1/2 hour everything normal so put it in a tub of water so it can warm up to normal operating temps and that internal noise comes back but it's so "internal" that I cant detect where it's coming from, I didn't run it long enough for it to contaminate the oil. I called the guy I bought it from to verify or confirm that it had been drained properly even though when I called about looking at the boat I was told the drain plugs were out and needed to be put back in. Seller has a mechanic shop and he seemed just as surprised as I was about the whole deal and he was going to ask around for ideas of what it could be so I called him back this morning and half ways through the conversation he said he had to take care of something and would call me right back, 6 hours later he hasn't. Stills idles flawlessly on muffs for long periods of time with no issues. Anyone have ideas what might cause this ? [/QUOTE]
