Thanks for the intel Frank. We did find a couple boats in PCB as airbnb (well, my girlfriend did and I still don't know how she found them) but they were smaller low 30s foot and like Frank said the traffic isn't conducive to being more than a few miles away from where you want to be.. Going to...

LOL good idea, that should end well! Thanks Techmitch, I checked those sites, really nothing in that area being offered. Insurance seems to be the biggest issue.

My wife and two kids are coming down to the Inlet Beach area (between Panama City Beach and Destin) the first week of October. My brother has a beach house in Inlet Beach but there won't be room for my wife and I. Kids are staying at his house. Does anyone here know of anyone doing an Airbnb on...

That helps thanks a lot

Man I actually just got done cleaning the strainers and that did it! Back to a perfect 170. Thanks a lot. Water flowing great.

ive got a 92 400 EC. Starboard motor has been overheating at 225. I'm hoping I've just got bad impeller or trash stuck in there restricting water flow. Does anyone have a diagram showing where impeller is and places to check for restricted water flow? This happened right after we went through...

Thanks K3d111, we didn't get that one but did get a 1992 400 express cruiser and love it! We're at goosepond now on dock 3.

Thanks

Does anyone have a labeled diagram of the engine room for a 92 400 express cruiser? I just bought the boat and am trying to learn where everything is (from oil cooler to sea strainers)but am having trouble finding clear info. This is my first boat. Thanks.

Thanks, that may be one of my first diy projects when I get her home and settled.

Thanks for all the input guys, I'm having a marine mechanic replace the gaskets and inspect the risers manifolds and make suggestions on what he sees. I'll ask him about the trans and oil coolers too.

The hoses and belts are all good. Survey noted all that in good condition and no evidence of leaks other than riser/manifold gasket. If it's a complete closed system hopefully the manifolds will be ok unless there is complete failure at the gasket.

you think the risers will need replaced too?

great news, thanks guys. Sounds like I'll hopefully only need to budget for the gasket replacement then.. assuming the SS risers aren't rusted. I would hope not on the Upper Chesapeake.

sorry for the duplicate pics. Most of these are from the survey. Really only main issue during survey was white steam coming from starboard exhaust starting around 1500 rpm, then when we got to WOT a lot of steam came out both exhausts (starboard and port). The water was cool (it was last...
