Took delivery today 38 Lightning

Took delivery today. 2004 Lightning 38 with twin 525's 40 hours. Cyclone graphics with race fairing. Still wondering about if I should change to switchable exhaust and if I should change the mufflers to tips. Would be grateful for any help on the exhaust issue.

PS had a prior thread concerning insurance. FYI Had quotes from $2000 to $6700..... Went with a quote for $2683 from Inamar.........Hope this is a fair quote.

Great looking boat! I would personally get rid of the stock muffled tips and go with either Imco muffled tips or a switchable setup.

Thanks Indy..... i am thinking of changing the y-pipes to include switchable exhaust, and change the mufflers to 8" ss with internal and external flappers......

That is a gorgeous boat - the cyclone graphis are just perfect on the 38 and the fairing really sets off the lines. Wish you the best of luck with her.

best of luck. as far as the exhaust you can install the switchables from a couple of manufacturers. if your interested i am a fountain dealer on longisland, and may be able to assist you with your install. i have a lot of love and experience with the fountains which are my passion. shoot me a p.m.
