Silent choice question
I'm considering buying a 1995 Fountain Sportfish with Silent Choice. Seems quieter at idle but not so much running. I've owned an Albemarle 24 and a Carolina Classic 28 with exhaust through the out drive. They were much quieter at idle and running. Why isn't the Fountain quieter with exhaust going thru the out drive?

I don't know the boat, what motor(s) or how the above water exhaust exit, but guess the easiest would be to plug the above the water exits.
Could also remove the diverters and install regular elbows. Would still probably need to close off the tips so water doesn't come in.
If you have B3 drives I would be sure it has an exhaust tube on the drive and not a exhaust hose

An easier method, as before remove the diverters, and install elbows to the Y pipe. Then find someone that can weld stainless and have the tips welded closed. So you can still see the tips but they no longer function. This way when you sell it, if the next buyer wants to put them back in, it would be easy to change back
