If it turns over ok with booster cables on then 99% its your battery,
Did you connect the booster cables to you battery or did you connect the -ve to the chassis? or the engine? you may have a poor earth connection.
360 cranking amps sounds about right for a waterboxer, but you forgot to tell us what engine you have?
Did you change the starter bush when you changed the starter?
Check the battery voltage it should be at least 12.6v
