Ya, I think I'm gonna have to sell one of the kids. It will probably be my last go-fast boat until I go cruiser mode. At least that's how I justified it with myself.

I really would like to give JC a good reputation out here on the west banks. I'm sure he's worked hard and long. If the boat does everything right, I'll see about getting some Hot Boat magazine coverage like my American Offshore back in 97.

Re: How's a 572 ci gonna run?
Guys,
What about exhaust for this monster? I'd like to run a long tube such as Lightning headers or CMI sport tubes, Stellings. I'm told they produce about 20HP more on a natually asperated engine. Two things on my mind:
Price
CMI and Stellings are gonna be $5000+, Lightnings $3000. All stainless.
Water Reversion: Where is the exhaust outlet through the transom? Below the platform? How high from the waterline?
The Lightnings use a hose from the header to the exhaust tip. Therefore the water probably is in the exhaust ealier than CMI. Could cause reversion on a big cammer.
Any suggestions or info based on proven set-up?

Hey Faster,
Did you say that you are going to use big gun mufflers?
If so, I would say the Lightings would be easier to plumb. I like the fact they are 2K less too.
Have you talked to Eddie Marine about the new mufflers? I talked to them about a month ago thinking I need to go with something larger than the inserts for my 502. They told me they would have a couple of new choices soon. I had been thinking captains call, but it is no longer legal in CT.

If I don't have to have a dry pipe as they call it, I will run the Eddie Marine Big Guns. I saw them Sunday at the show, thier sweet! If the water has to dump at the exhaust tips then I don't know what muffler I'm runnin. CP Performance said a complete custom Lightning dry stainless system is $3800. But I forgot to mention mufflers.
