Hi George,

I will echo mesamarine.  I purchased two exhaust manifolds from them last summer for my Perkins 6.354's.  On their website they have photos and if you e-mail them or call they will e-mail additonal photos of the manifolds.

I purchased the 316 Stainless manifolds for $1250 each.  The are literally exact duplicates of the originals.  I them ordered all the studs, nuts, gaskets, etc from Trans-Atlantic Diesel in Va.
They had them all except the one for the raw water inlet at the aft end of the manifold where it comes from the heat exchanger.  BTW that cast pipe that connects to the manifold is no longer made.  Mine looked fine and I just had to clean it up a bit, but also used Permatex high temp compound to fashion a gasket for this connection.  Has worked perfectly since I installed them last summer.

Point of info, I was promised a two week turnaround from time of order.  You know how it works with these guys, wound up being 6 weeks before I received them.

As a note, we are heading up to NY from Fl to commission Heart's Desire for our long awaited dream cruise.  Will be leaving 6/1 to head up the Hudson to the Erie canal, Oswego Canal to Sacketts Harbor, then off to Kingston, then Trenton to do the Trent-Severn and Georgin Bay as far as Baie Fine the down the east side of the Bruce Peninsula and back across the Trent-ending up back in NY by the beinning or mid Sept.

My wife likes to say that if we're still married at that point the plan is to cruise the Chesapeake for Sept-Oct and then DC before heading south ending up on the west coast of FL near our home in Largo.

Good luck on your plans.  This list is the greatest source of info to make this cruisng dream a reality.

Regards,
Paul
