Wow, that boat has spent a lot of time in salt

Im sure this has been poor maintennace 'flushing" after each use

 

[Rick Stephens]

Well, at least it is cheaper to get the whole set, on exhaust. Those are pretty decrepit. Wow.

 

[krakatoa]

So thats mean that I can still use the manifolds for this season? What you think guys? I know exhaust are gone but what about manifolds? Anyone of you will put it back?

 

[alldodge]

I wouldn't use them

Suggest putting a flat file on the matting surfaces to ensure there flat before bolting together.

Look nice

Nice job, nice new parts. I'm a bit late to the party, but I was going to suggest that if you are replacing manifolds and elbows (correct name for what most people call 'risers'. Risers are those extension sections you asked about way back), then this would have been an excellent opportunity to update to the newer 'dry joint' system. Way more reliable and less likely to give your engine a belly full of water. Oh well, next time
