I don't have all my numbers handy, so I will estimate. Soda blasting was 1400, haul out / launch storage on the hard was 600ish. Paint (micron 66) / primer (interprotect 2000) and fancy coating on the running gear and trim tabs was 3000 (including labor). Rumor is in our location if the diver does not have a heavy hand this could last four season! I hope so at that price!Curious what you paid Seadawg?
Does sound like a possble fuel problem. Could be as simple as changing the filters. You probably have it backwards about the manifold and risers. Like Plasma said, the elbows are stainless and should last indefinitely. The manifolds about 5 yearsHey everyone! Coming from a Mako 212!
Just did a survey yesterday on a 2003 360 with 8.1s. Owner did not run the boat much in the past 18 months. Passing 3500rpm the port engine started making a popping sound. Temps never got above 165 on either engine. Surveyor thinks it is a fuel issue, potentially bad gas from sitting in the tanks forever. Anyone ever experience this? Owner is having his mechanic diagnose today.
Risers were replaced but not the manifolds. About 800hrs on the engines. Lots of neglected minor items, lights, etc.
Coming from my Mako this thing is a beast but it awesome!

Welcome Mr. Reasons.
These 8.1 are know to be a little hard on plugs and wires. If I already owned that boat, it would be the first parts I would throw at it. Many times the symptoms of bad spark is a rattle like sound coming from the transmissions while moving at idle speeds.
My engines tend to run @ 165ish in cooler water and about 170 in the summer.
18 months is a long time to both leave the gas sit AND leave the motors sit.
I've had my 360 for almost a year now and still love this boat. The 360 was the smallest boat assembled at the Merritt Island yacht facility and because of that there are many upgrades that may go unnoticed. Stainless where the 340DA would have polished aluminum, and things of that nature. In the 360 you can actually stand between the engines, which suits me fine because I do a fair amount of maintenance myself.
P.S. Did I mention the Batman shower?
P.P.S. My most recent boating experience was an 18 foot bow rider, so I understand what you mean when you say 'beast', but she actually handles very well around the dock. I have to contend with narrow fairways and fairly strong cross-fairway tidal currents while docking and she makes me look good!
