Not so much in the rough, but I digress. She had dry exhaust exiting above the swim platform. I loved the he!! out of it. Wife, not so much. The boat had a 2000 watt stereo in it, and you couldn't even hear it under way, I haven't figured the math out yet, but somehow, 650 HP can beat out more than twice as much stereo wattage...lol. Not that that was a big deal to me, I love a screaming big block, but you know where the push back on that is coming from. To be competely honest, even I got kinda tired of it when the PoPo got interested. Which was every time I pulled into the party cove, pulled out of the party cove, put it on the trailer, pulled it off of the trailer, started it up, shut it down, cruised anywhere....and on and on. In a perfect world, I'd throw some SMI dry exhaust on this one too, exiting above the swim platform. No worries about vibrating with that setup,but it's just not that practical...I've learned the value of "selective stealth' these days on the lake. At least around here.

Switchable exhaust is illegal in NJ, so anytime I get pulled over while coming off plane I slowly close the exhaust (air actuated) so by the time I stop its like I'm not even running. Luckily its only a few times a year and I've only gotten warnings.

My boat will be dry to the tips with rubber downturns.
