Not so fun motor issues

Just wanted to let you all know that on Friday with the help of a great mechanic the problem is solved and the boat ran great all weekend! I was worried that the motor was cracked by the way the plugs looked so I changed the head gasket for the 3rd time and every thing looked great inside. It was clear that one of the carbs was flooding one cylinder so the carb was adjusted and problem solved, (hence why the plug looked washed). The old gasket looked great no sign of any seepage anywhere. What we did discover was the thermostat was completely shot. So changed that for the second time the first one I was given was not the right one and the used one I tried was totally screwed aswell. To bad it took me so long to figure that out! Anyway thanks for all your ideas and happy fishing to you all! What a relief to get this sorted out.
