A good ten hours. I think that it’s a pretty large battery pack.

Re: Express 360 Refrigerato We have the same boat, purchased new. After the first year of ownership, our dealer - Bayside Marine in Duxbury, Ma - installed a separate battery bank and inverter to do exactly what you want. (They worked with Grady on physical placement to ensure that the...

This site was featured in the recent Boat US magazine; it purports to set forth true dealer costs and suggested retail prices by manufacturer, by model: http://www.seedealercost.com/

We never use the dockside fresh water hook-up (no particular reason). We do try to run the water tank/pump system extensively at our slip a couple of times per season in order to get some "fresher" water in there (open the sink faucets, run the hose into the holding tank intake and turn it on...

We have had and enjoyed both boats, each bought new; we ran the 330 with twin 250's for three years, then traded it in for the 360 with twin 350's which we have used the past three years. You can't go wrong with either one!!! We did not find the 360 to be substantially more complex than the...

Very, very broad issue. St. Thomas is good for shopping; St. John's is good for relaxing. I think that it really depends on what you expect -- solitude, beautiful beaches, shopping, night life, fishing,? There are many web sites which can help you understand the differences.

The Pursuit 375 was not an option when we moved from our Express 330 to the Express 360 in 2008, so I can not address your question directly from personal experience. That said, there is virtually nothing about our 360 that we would change; we could not be more pleased with it, using it for...

Virtually impossible to improve on 0.7 MPG at cruising speed. Trolling depends on seas -- maybe up to 1.2 MPG. Hope this helps!

Re: I checked today -- full fuel and water, two adults on board, bottom paint (wet slip, in since May 1). Seas were relatively flat today. We cruised at about 4,500 RPM's, speed about 30 MPH, 0.7 MPG. The top end is 5,500 RPM's, 40 MPH, 0.6 MPG. Can't get fuel consumption higher than about...

We run twin 350's, and they are perfect for the boat. I would not even consider triples -- no need.

Re: 360 We've run the inverter for about six hours at a time; it seamlessly and perfectly runs the refrigerator/freezer drawers. We installed it and its batteries where the fish tackle drawers were on the starboard side; the weight distribution on the boat remained fine. I would do it...

Yes. After last season our dealer (where the boat is stored over the winter) performed the required flywheel service on both engines. That said, we had no issues with the engines last year (2008) nor this year. Fingers crossed..... ;-)

We have a 2008 360 with twin 350's, and we do not feel that it is underpowered. Speed tops out at about 40 MPH when properly trimmed (full fuel & water, four adults). We tend to cruise in the low 30's getting .6 to .7 miles per gallon. It is a bit slow out of the hole, but it is quite a heavy...

Bow Thruster Warning In addition to the good previous comments, I's like to add a warning if you have a bow thruster. Do NOT use the bow thruster to adjust your angle of attack as you move forward to disengage the anchor. With enough slack on the anchor line, it is quite possible to suck the...
