baffels
 

have a 342 baja that has captains call but still has the factory baffels in it are they any advantages or disadvantages in removing them other than sound effects

The baffles may act as an internal flapper too, keeping water from reentering your motor. Do you have flappers on the outside?

yes i do

I would think you might possibly gain some HP and speed. Only one way to find out! Steve
