    dampness in v berth area, stains on bulkhead in front of v berth area

    I have a 1980 360 Express Cruiser that is constantly leaking through the windows both in the v-berth and the bunk room. I plan on taking the whole window assembly out this spring and clean and re-bed the frames. Hoping that works! I do understand that these boats were notorious for leading...

    Calling all 360 DA owners

    Hi Rob. We bought our first boat this time last year! (1980 360 Express Cruiser). It was definitely a long winter last year! I'll agree that the dual throttles & shifters are great for maneuvering. Having never piloted anything like this before, it was a learning curve. Nothing like going...

    Electrician says how much?!

    So, I just got the estimate on the electrical work needed on my 360... $21K!! Now I know that there are things that need to be fixed but really, I only paid $15K for the boat! Ah well, I now spell boat... BOATT (Break Out Another Ten Thousand)! p.s. I know that's CAD not USD but still...!

    Sure I remember! If you zoom in the first pictore, you can see that the canvas snaps from the side of the boat directly to the wood trim. We've only had the canvas for a month or so but haven't had any issues with water coming through. Of course, it is a custom canvas! If you're ever up this...

    So, the original stripes are almost complete on the upper sides, name's on the boat and we're getting there! I don't think I looked this good when I was 40!!

    Well, thanks for the excellent advice! Found the micro-switch, loosened it up, turned on the stove breaker(!) and voila! Stove works!! Thanks again.

    Oven works, not the stove... (1979/80 360 Express Cruiser)

    Hi All. Looking for some advice as to how to troubleshoot a non-functioning stovetop. It's in our 1979/80 360 Express Cruiser. The oven works find but the stove top does absolutely nothing when I turn on any of the burners. The way the stove/oven is installed, I have no idea of where to begin...

    1979 SRV 360 EC Still beautiful @40!

    New Canvas... "new" old stripe (looks like what's in the original brochure)... When we bought it, it had the full camper type canvas so that's what we replaced it with. The picture above is us tied up at Bobcaygeon Sunday. "We watched the constellations reveal themselves one star at a time"! I...

    Thanks! We were really pleased with the couple that did it. They came out on a Sunday to do the final install!! The result exceeded our expectations.

    So, even though the Trent Severn system was closed this past weekend, we were at the boat (of course!). Even though we had some challenges with the power plant, we did manage to cruise to the fuel dock and back :) New canvas installed... (see sig for before pic) New name applied... Next time...
