Are flappers needed on a 35? Thinking about removing the Imco hi perf muffler tips and going with standard thru hull tips with no flapper.

Indy
Dont know about the 35, but the last 32 I bought had water go back through the exaust due to the previous owner hitting something and stopping suddenly. You ran that turd yet?

Not yet, how is your project going? Are you running flappers on your 35?

I'm going to for cheap insurance, but I'm going to be running 100+ ! Project will be running sometime this summer. Graphics will be going on in a week or 2. You know how a week or 2 goes . Still need a couple HP gimbals.
What did you decide on for drives?

I plan on using the Bravos for now and keeping a spare. What graphics did you decide on?

Just get billet top caps

Kind of like Livorsis old 38.

My engine builder said that I didn't need flappers, but I put them on so I wasn't worried about it all of the time. They do look better without, but always worried coming off plane or sitting where waves are rolling in.

I would leave the flappers in, what about backing it in the water?


BTW did the indicator tabs show up yet?

They did come in but unfortunately they are a different design from the one in my boat, I will send them back today. Are you guys using muffler tips or silent choice?
