Sad Day Boat Motor Died Help Please!?!?!?

[dtarules]

My motor was running ruff on the river a couple of weeks ago. I had a plug that was fouled out so I replaced it. The motor ran great in the driveway. I took it out today and it was still running ruff. I was trailing the boat and noticed it was bleeding gas and oil. I have a large hole in the power head next to what looks like the crank. I have metal chucks all over the motor. The pistons have metal chucks around the top. How much would a rebuild be? Should I just buy a new boat?

the powerhead should be the same. they are all 2.6l. you will want a mechanic to look at your fuel and oil systems because that might be what caused your failure.
