KC- thats a bummer.... It kills me to see a project going on like yours and ya get it done, launch the boat, wife's in the pic with the boat on the beach, and then I see the PWC in front, but it wasn't cutting you off it was towing you. Bummer.
OK I can't resist......... A Mercury 300 would push your boat over 80 I bet and you would have alot of free time not working on it.... 
Good luch finding the problem.

Gawd Dam It  
Number 8 plug and the hole has zero compression. Jeez I wonder why 
Fock this thing, I'm not sure if its the valve or the piston or the cylinder that is causing no compression  I can't decide to whether take it apart, put it away for awhile, burn it, sell it, or give it away   
Also I've got water in the oil and there was water on all 7 & 1/2 plugs. My attitude towards this boat is about as bad as when you realize you should get a divorce 
It looks like something went through the cylinder looking at the plug(no sh!t) . The electrode is completely gone either knocked out or fell out. I'm thinking of pulling the head to inspect to see if its block or  head causing the no compression, maybe it just bent a valve (I doubt this very much) But if I decide to dump it and move on, I'd rather keep it all in one piece so the new owners can see how it goes together.
Things just don't get any better, I'll      think about what I'm going to do........stay tuned

Sorry to see that, looks like the valve just gave up or something else happen and the valve hit the piston then broke?.

So I pulling the string on this project for awhile maybe moving on to the Tahiti and enjoy the rest of Summer   and bumming boat rides.

Shit KC, sorry to see what happened.
I've seen a couple engines swallow valves, and you know what? The amount of time on them made no difference, in fact most of them were on lower time motors. I think it's a QC issue from the manufacturer than anything else, just my .02.
Looks like the blue Hawaiian is just having a string of bad luck, I know how that feels.

I'll go along with the fatigue theory!.

Yeah, sounds like fatigue to me also. Most of my experiance with valve problems has been with airplanes, that mostly comes from people running the engines to lean. But it takes a relatively long time (10 - 100 hrs) for the problems to surface, and we find those on a compression check. Hopefully before the valve takes a ride around the inside of the engine.
Automotive (or marine) wise, the ones I've seen fail are newer valves, and the metal just doesn't look right at the break, like a manufacturing defect or QC problem with the material used in the valve.

That's why you have to be careful what brand you buy!.
