Not everyone gets over it. If you ask the people what drives them most to start up speed limits laws/debates it is ussuelly because of the noise of our boats. When I asked the legislature last year if our boats were quite would we be having this debate now and he said probably not.

I may be looking at taking my long riser stainless marine exhaust and doing the same thing, while my motors are out this winter for upgrade's. If any one can explain this process that we be great. As I understand it, you weld the normal water injected site closed, and then extend the stainless risers as far back as possible removing as much rubber hose as possible. Then cut and weld a bung into the end of the wet part of the riser so water can be directed to the outside of the boat, but still injecting a fine mist of water into the un cooled portion of riser to keep heat down. Am I on the right path here?

Post a pic of your SM riser and tails. Do you have stainless tails or 4" rubber hose. I have dry to the tip SM tails on my boat. I talked to JimV today and he said you dropped your engines off. He can help you make them dry and weld O2 bungs in them if need be. He did mine.

Hi jason, I was checking out your scarab today at Jim's, nice boat!!! Yes at Jim's today we pulled the problem motor down to where we could pull lifter's and found our problem. We also found a milkshake, on the underside of the intake. Not sure if the reversion, was caused by the bad lifter, and the exhaust valve not opening correctly or if there is a problem else where. We are going to more agressive cam's from where we are right now, so if we will have a reversion issue, I am trying to think of solution's should this be an issue. Dry exhaust should take care of that for good I would think. Yes I did talk to Jim about it today also, and I think I will have him fabricate the system should it need it. I have the rubber hose tail's, not the stainless but they are the long risers. I was looking at one of your riser's at the shop. What was the tube running inside of the tail? I was trying to determine how it worked.

Only time I don't like loud pipes is when the engines are turned off.
