Hello, what make and model is the box? I've been looking for a smaller one like that.

Did you bolt the metal supports to the trailer or weld?

I agree. That tip doesn't know if it is on a boat or a truck. Looks good.

Black clamshells for the cables. Figured you by eyeing something stainless there.

My only observation, as I'm not sure if it would be a concern, is that most turn downs are angle-cut to the rear.

I don't think your tips could scoop up any water coming onto or off of plane. Do you always blurp the throttles just as the boat settles at the stern when you come off plane?

No I never burp the throttles,,never thought of doing it....
I know what you mean about the reverse slash cut on the gibsons,,if anything I thought the gibsons might be a issue when getting boat off trailer at the ramp or when you come off plane and get the wake hitting the back of the boat,,

I though with the constant exhaust flow/pressure it should keep water from going in the exhaust and also the riser is much higher but dont really know for sure...

any input would be great
