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.

Holy cow, how do you get to the drain plugs? Or do you just fill it up with anti-freeze?

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.
