My exhausts risers were changed to come streight out the back with 90 degree risers, I am still running the Merc logs. All 4exhaust tips come out in that small area above the rub rail. I am still looking for a place for the boats name, currently it's down the sides. "Fast Freight", the name goes well with the freight train air horns on the deck! Previous owner was the president/chairman of the board of a west coast railroad.

The TRS's and K planes take up the transome below the rub rail, I am not use there is a place for a swim platform, unless go back to the 180 degree risers and run the exhaust back to the original locations.

The only time I have ever seen my drain plugs was when the engines were out of the boat. To prep them for freezing weather, you fire theach motor up using a 5 gallon bucket with street water and a garden hose refilling the bucket. When the engines get to operating tempature you switch the bucket to a 50/50 mix and continue pumping into your running engine untill you have used all 5 gallons of 50/50 up, then shut that engine off and do the other. A bit messy, but it does fill the motors/exhaust systems with antifreeze.
