Update. She lives again and all seems great! I think the water in oil nightmare is over

Looks fantastic, and I’m sure it sounds hair raising! I had played with my exhaust quite a bit on my cafe to keep my tails cool and mitigate any tendency to revert. I was running Hardin Cyclones to a traditional 4 bolt flange tail with a similiar rise to yours. My problem was heat in the riser at idle; couldnt get the heat exchange right. Off idle maybe 1100 rpm on it was good but down low they got hot hot. I ran dumps like yours, had to play around with restrictions while watching water pressure. Keep an eye on your water pressure.

Had a great weekend with the ol girl! We beat on it Thursday Friday and Saturday with no issues FINALLY and I have clean oil for once! Reversion has seemed to be an issue all along? Dry exhaust is loud especially if you are behind it. Going down the lake it’s not terrible but definitely noticeably louder than she was before! I don’t mind it though!

Congrats brother!

What lake do you boat on?

it’s called “ Tims Ford Reservoir” about 1.5hr south of Nashville Tennessee in my little town called “Winchester Tennessee “ 10,000 acre man made real deep lake with 3 marinas. Born and raised on this lake it’s fun at times!

thanks man! Been a long time coming it seems!

Looks great ! You get tired of messing with it, let me know! LOL

Congratulations for sticking to it. Glad to hear you’re finally enjoying it. Looks good.

thank you! Means a lot! It has been a long hard road to say the least but I know I’m not the only one. Seeing a lot of threads on here it could have been much worse!
