Reid, look at the 1st and 2nd pic's.I don't know if it's an optical illusion, but it dosen't look like the thru hulls are straight back from the manifolds either,complicating matters more

Yep, Gary. Looks like he's gonna needs Tim's fabricator too.
Ryan, I can't remember the exact cost of the thru-hulls, but I believe mine were in the $50-60 range each, and the 3-1/2's could be a little more. But don't settle of cheap imitations as these will look sculpted just like your originals. |

Ryan,
Cheapest I can find those thru-hulls is $81.20. 3" Thru Hulls That is the 3in because the 3 1/2in are only listed in Bronze. Not sure bronze would look good. |

Wow, thats some nice exhaust tim has there. Yea I was just curious as to price but I definately want some 3.5" polished, I sent them a email to get some info on the 3.5" ones. What is the diameter of the ends of my exhaust manifolds?

Roger, the bronze ones I've seen are typically chrome plated, so that look great as well, but then you'd have a bigger issue welding if need be.

Reid, I looked at that site you provided and noticed that the 3 1/2 were listed with a Part number of "n/a" for the SS. It did not provide a part number for chromed Bronze. |

The HM exh dia is 3" O.D. for the main portion of the outlet, with a small lip around the end the goes to like 3.2" but does go around a 3" pipe.
EDIT: And I guess I wasn't paying attetion to what you saw Roger as it does say "cast bronze" and not chrome. Well Ryan, you may have to go to 4", and I'll hear you up on Hwy 421. |

Keep making that thru hull bigger and before long you will be able to use chainsaw to cut it..
EDIT: I have got a couple 5lb coffee cans in the kitchen that I can let go cheap. A chainsaw and a little 5200 and you will be set. |

That's got to be one of the badest Tri-Hulls I have ever seen. What is that 302 rated at for HP, 210? That boat must really move, what do you guy's think the top end would be?
Also, would a rigid Exhaust connection be OK in that setup? Cool Boat Ryan! |

Sorry I missed this John. Yep, I have an Acme 540 now. Made a huge difference... and not just stopping the vibration. And you are correct, Reid is a pretty handy guy to know.... lots of good info there. And a really great guy. |

Thanks for the compliments Chris. You have a very nice boat also. I called Holman Moody a long time ago and gave them the numbers on my motor and I think they told me it was rated at 225 but I am not 100% sure, its somewhere around there. She runs really good though, although I am not exactly sure what a accurate speed would be. My buddy had a old Master Craft with a 351 in it out on the lake a while back and I outrun him haha.
what exactly do you mean by a rigid setup? |

I think that he was referring to running a fabricated pipe (Stainless like Tims) from the thru hull to just below the manifold. Then you would use a short rubber hose section between the manifold to the pipe.
The pipe would be welding to the thru hull and the bends would allow you to install the fabricated pipe and thru hull as a single unit. That would be my guess.. |

Roger Roger,
Wondering if in an I/O setup the motor itself moves at all when revved or loaded, there would not be much or any give on a rigid exhaust in such a tight area, if movement did occur I would imagine it would be transferred down the exhaust system and then to the hull. |

How about some nice over transom pipes
That should pick up the dB level a tad. |

You dont need no stinking flappers, your exhaust isnt really underwater. I mean if you catch water over the back when you slow down you could consider it but I wouldnt worry about them too much. I think 3 inch would be how I would go with a 302 3 inch is plenty loud. I am concerned that for optimum sound your manifolds might neck down too far, I would compare your turn downs to some of the other ones shown in the diaries maybe there were different ones, if yours are really smaller its going to knock down the noise a bit.
