I can't believe those thing were leaking so bad. You are right I hear nothing but bad stories on CMI's. Scary thing is the Tiger I bought has them as well. I guess I will be taking them off and pressure testing. Can they be fixed? Email me a pic of the motors in the boat ([email protected]) and I will post the pic here for you. 82mph impressive wait til you get the props dailed in, I guess it is time for some 28's.

Hey Vic, This is Frank, did not take you long to get comfortable on the Cig forum..........Only 82 mph, i hope you like the looking at my transom all summer....Lol.

I went down to the marina, the old Fountain cover fits good.
I assume you are talking about my new set of CMI headers that leaked........
Sorry i missed your xmas party. i heard it was good.

Vic, The Sonic boys will not be happy about your new boat.

Any information on the performance of the stainless marine exhaust vs. the CMI headers ??? any lack of H.P. ???
How much do they cost a set?
