We have huge noise issues on our inland lakes and though it would look great, I think he's right, the noise factor wouldn't be worth it for us.

I guess the customer always has the option.

Is that boat running yet? Sea trial?? I might have to hop on a plane when its ready!

If it was being built for me they would dump out the hull sides because I do not mine the noise and we do not have any real big noise issues here in Miami.Plus I like the way they look !!

That is why we are a custom boat builder and build the boats to our customer's exact specifications. I understand the noise problem in certain areas of the country.

There are many current race boats dumping their headers out the hull sides. Here is a picture from 1977 with my Father's 24' with the headers dumping out the sides. Look above the rubrail near the rear bulkhead.

No doubt! I loved it on the raceboat ....

Jo, the moderator of this section should be able to transfer this to the GD area ... otherwise PM OSO and request.

BTW, killer boat :)

I agree that dumping the exhaust out the sides is very cool, But it would restict me from going to a few harbors off the coast of Cape Cod, the Nantucket boat basin and Oak Bluffs on Marthas Vinyard both have noise restictions....

Tell Em Like It Is Jo

Not trying to pressure the professionals, but honestly when do you think this boat will be sea trialed?

You have many of us hooked!! Oops, bad choice of words!! You have many of us interested! VERY INTERESTED!!

come on kirk, don't start that.

It should be sea trialed during the Don Arronow Ocean Race in June!:cool-smiley-027:

By the way, nice looking boat!
