I pulled my engine in the winter and im sure you are aware, but I had to get different tails when I removed my Y pipe. Im guessing most people would have the same issue with the stock tails running down to it and also out the back.

The boat didn't already have thru hull exhaust? I removed silent choice and the Y pipe, then went straight from the risers to the tips with rubber hose.

It does have thru hull exhaust, but it was split by the tails. When I removed the Y pipe I had to get tails that didnt have the diverter down to the Y pipe. I found some used for 700 locally, but if you have to buy new they can be 1600. I just wanted to make sure the OP didnt have a potential 1600 extra expense for removing that because I was short sighted and originally thought, $50 for a block off plate and you can take it out and call it a day until i looked at this further myself.

This is my plan. I make weld and make a waterjacketed pipe to prevent reversion from my cam durations. Or, setup a side exit with hose for the exhaust and a separate hose for the water. Just waiting on my pushrods from Manton to get here.
