Default Exhaust Manifold Replace

Well , I got to put on new manifolds Apparently the guy I bought the boat from has no clue about winterizing Bright side , the rest seems to be fine. That's what I get for a quick look over.
Has anyone had , or is currently using these aluminum manifolds?

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

The price seems fair and I wouldn't mind shedding a few pounds from the motor.
What do you guys think?
Thanks for input
Larry

    I had alum exhaust and intake and heads on my old boat not a prob on fresh water and shaved off quite a few pounds too. My son now has the boat and none of the aluminum parts has given a problem. Not sure which alum manifolds you are getting apparently there are some chinese ones that require some machining to fit properly around atleast they were a few years back. I say go for it but your call mine were and are great going on 10years this summer.
