Nothing at all wrong with flappers however they are over rated.
I ran straight exhaust without flappers for two seasons and that included a lot of offshore cruising where waves would crash up against the back of the boat. Then when I added the mufflers the first thing I did was remove the rubber flappers.
I'm not saying that water cannot get in but it is much more difficult one would think. I have friends at the coast that have never run flappers.
People worry too much about it.
