That's not good. Spun & ground rod bearings. Counter weight may have been beating on something also. Rods are toast also I'm sure. Great reef...
looks like more than a crank problem. #6 & 7L look bad.
Have you contacted Sunseeker Florida (Miami) or SS GB yet? When in doubt, call the kids who built it.
Fatigue.
No, I did not take it that way and apologize if it came that way. Nor did I say just someone to blame ; who / what ; Old / not so old shafts ;...

Running or just sitting since it happened? And this is after the head wad pulled off?
How you figure several gallons? I thought you commented the oil was low. It takes just a bit of fuel to taint block oil. The fuel pump has a weep...
Where do you think the bad lungs fuel went to?
Update; Seems it was a cluck fired from a good shop that did the work. Owner was not aware he was not representing the shop he usually did...
Yes, My stb engine 14 years ago had a sloppy fit. Had to hone the block out a bit for the next class liner size.
