How long did you keep running the motor when it started to run poorly and lose power? Did you give it a blast of full throttle to see if it would clear up first?
Please resize your photo images to a more manageable 800 by 600 pixels so as not to disrupt the page formatting. Thanks.

Cruising full throttle and lost 500rpm 5 seconds later lost all rpm. Dead in the water.
OUCH!!! Sorry for your luck.....been there. No hole in the block but internals trashed. Looks like ya lost tha whole top of that piston...lean??
Possible didn't see anything obvious. I just had a stator put on. They had to reglue a few magnets on and then he reset the timing doing a lync and sync. That was the first time out afterwards...

I wonder how he set the timing?
If you can't run with the big dogs, just stay on the porch.

All that damage did not happen in 5 seconds, that motor was not running right for quite a whle before the piston disintegrated. You didn't feel that something was wrong or unusual ?

looks like the new 5cyl gt200.....nice window
It came from the shop and the next day was the tourny. We let it idle for about 10 or 15 minutes talking to others waiting for launch time. We launched and everything was normal. I was 2nd or 3rd boat in line heading up the lake. I was turning 5600rpm @ 58mph. We ran a mile or 2 and all the sudden I felt it nose over a little. I looked down and the tach was at 5000rpm. I trimed it up a little and picked up 100rpm then all the sudden it just lost power, fell of plane and died. I floated out of the way praying not to get run over by the train of boats behind me. I cranked it over and heard the sucking sound and new it was gone. It real was that quick.
