Thanks, I agree it's time to start peeling off the Benjamin's. Hope I can keep under 20 of them. I'll post what happens when i get it back.

I would still bet its the intake gasket leaking into the lifter valley.

There is no mystery here.

 

Unless it's a closed cooling system it's going to be difficult to pressurize it.

 

Run a leakdown test on each cylinder - that will tell you if it's a headgasket.

 

GOBIG is also giving good advice - intake gasket is a definite possibility

Thanks I'm going to change out the intake gasket this weekend. I'll let you know what happens.

If it has been leaking you will be able to tell. If it hasnt you need to look farther good luck.

Well I statred pulling parts off this weekend. Low and behold when I got to the intake manifold bolts the two on the front starboard side were loose. Not much more than finger tight. When I pulled the manifold I saw a perfectly intact gasket, but upon further investigation I could see where the water had been passing between the gasket and the head. I was lucky and found it early. Put everything back together and ran the boat with no issues. Thanks to the crew for all your suggestions and help.
