Nope, opposite. If you were in back of your boat while it was running along you'd hear it's pretty loud.

Interesting, thanks for the clarification.

And, as you mention, I've often wondered if my boat is actually louder than it seems to be from the helm.

The steam is fine no worries. On my 336 with 525 SC's they steam with the box on. When I take the box off no steam at all. Here is why, water builds up in the box and sits in there. When the hot exaust hits the cold water it caused steam. This is normal. At idle the water fills up to make the boat quiet. When I am doing 80 -90 it blows the water out and is louder.

I get lots of steam. . . no worries.

+1 on leaving the drain holes on the underside open.
