    Exhaust manifolds

    I suspect that the exhaust manifolds on my 83' might only last 1-2 more seasons. I already have a very small leak and they're getting pretty thin.

    Any ideas about where to either buy some new ones or some good used ones (351).

    Thanks!

    Did you check over on CorrectCraftFan? I've seen several posts over there about replacement headers and upgrades.

      What engine do you have (PCM or Commander)? Are you looking for an exact replacement? High performance? Just something to keep you running (low cost)?

        I had checked some other sites but had not seen anything.
        Since I still have some time I'll keep keep checking.

        I just spent a ton of money at the dealer and got an education about how hard it's getting to find parts for these boats.

        I have a PCM motor. I'm pretty open to anything. The boat has 1400 hours but it's in great shape.
        Performance is not a huge issue since I also have a 2007 196 Ltd. that I use specifically to ski the course.

        Does anyone have any suggestions or experience? New, used, performance etc.?

        Thanks!

          I also have a used set of Osco's that would clean up nice that Id let go for cheap. The riser outlet is slightly higher than your PCM's, so Im not 100% certain the existing exhaust hose would reach. Shipping would also be a killer since they weigh ~50lb/ea.
