43 ZR mufflers question

Hi everybody ,
I'm approaching at Donzi's world !

I'm interest in a 43 ZR , to change my Cigarette Top Gun , but I don't know really so much about this boat.

I've noticed that some boats with the 3 motors set up has 4 mufflers in the stern and 2 mufflers on the boat sides .

Some boats has all the 6 mufflers in the stern of the boat

Why ??? Wich is the difference ??? The one with the 6 mufflers in the stern of the boat it's an older model ??

Same boats m.y. , same motors , same drives ...

Thanks for the lesson

Mickeyboy

My guess is it was a customer request. the one with all 6 pipes out the back is a CA boat... probably more strict on sound out there and it is quieter to run out under the swim platform.

All the other trip 43's I have ever seen run out the sides. I have seen different flavors of the trip though, some are like the ones you posted... 2 aft, 1 forward, but others are 1 aft, 2 forward engines. still run exhaust out the sides regardless.

Go with stock 525. With the whippled motors youll be blowing those drive left and right. And you are talking about where the tail pipes exit not mufflers. The 43 is a great boat.

Unfortunately, both have refused my offers !

I prefer the one located in California , has more options

the one located in Carolina ( stock 525) has also an higher price !
and less options

Can you pls explain to me why the drives coul'd be blowed ??

YES MUFFLERS !!! made a mistake !!!

I think the Cal boat is all 6 out the back, all under the platform. Exhaust under the platform is more quiet than without a fiberglass platform or out the side so the Cal boat should be more quiet.

Engines are the same, one whipped up. depends on use, etc. as far as which is better. non whippled would be more reliable.
