Formula 242ls remove baffles & flappers?
Hello all, I'm currently having a 500hp + engine built for my 1989 Formula 242. I'm going to cut the baffles out and was wondering if I could leave the rubber flapper's off the exhaust tips? The butterfly flappers are gone that used to be in the transom. I moore the boat in the summer and wonder if water will back flow easily without any stoppers. I found new easy install 4" exhaust flappers I might buy just for safety. Any input?

If your tips are straight out the stern, I wouldn't remove the flappers. If you have to stop quick, there would be some major water headed up the tubes.
What kind of exhaust you using? |
Coming off plane and backing off the trailer could be a problem. I also would leave the flappers.

It's got the silent thunder exhaust coming through swim platform. I'll be using older style merc blue 420hp performance manifolds.
