Cruise is 19 to 22. Fuel burn is the same as diesels unless you run it hard. we get 1 mpg at all displacement speeds up to 9 knots. At all planning speeds the fuel consumption yields 1/2 mpg. Gas engines are much cheaper to maintain than diesels and last just as long or longer. Parts are cheaper, oil filters are cheap and they olly require 6 quarts of oil when changing.
The engines on our 36 now have lifetime copper nickel exhaust risers and elbows. This is a big improvement over the cast iron ones that must be changed every 5 years.

Our 36 Hatteras is now listed by southhrivermarine.com 586 783 6600. All purchasing questions should be directed to them. You can still ask me any other questions about our boat.

Re: '86 36: convertable
Where did you get lifetime CuNi exhaust manifolds and risers? I would like to have a set of those. I wonder if they make them for Cummins diesels.

Re: '86 36: convertable
Hi Jim...The outfit is on Long Island New York. I sent them one of my risers and one elbow. The fabricated four replacement units which fit perfectly. (Our engines are V-8 configuration) so we needed 4 units. The cost $800.00 each. Other HOF members have used them also. The name of the company slips me at the moment. Others can chime in here with the details.

Thanks to all of you that made such nice comments about our 36 Hat. The boat is sold to the first customer. He lives near Orlando and will keep her on the Atlantic side near the ICW.
