Yes, there is coolant intrusion but the boat sat for a long time between the incident and the discovery. The coolant might have drained in. I've been distracted and in California and trying to deal with this long distance due to my daughter's health problems. It's a real s....show!!
Sorry to hear about your daughter.
To be honest, with those issues I would pull the engine if it were mine. If the head got hot enough to crack and water got in the oil I would either want the block magnafluxed or replaced. My starboard got hot with the previous owner and was re-powered with a crate engine from Cummins. $36k plus install and came with 2 year warranty.
