Here is A still shot, you can see the exhaust tip coming off the turbo housing (Gentry set up I believe) , pretty straight forward design. Find the degree you need to miss the side tanks then kick the tube back straight to exit the side of the boat.

Mitch, I was looking at ''Coin Toss" at the Needles show, did you recently add the pin strip between the Red and White on the Hull ? I don't remember seeing that or the name on the back before. Looks great , really like the name !:)

That design will definitely not work. If I built something like that and then told my wife and kid they had to climb over it to get in the boat I'd be in the doghouse for sure.

My eyes have been opened to some things as a result of this thread. Per members perception there are problems with the Sandbar, specifically a core group of people including myself, who do most of the posting there. For the sake of the site what can be done within reason to create balance and still be vibrant?
I for one will slow down posting if that's what's needed. A lot of my posting is for humor and shock value. If I offend some of you, PM me or put me on ignore please. I've never used the ignore feature so I don't really know how it works.
Let's show our optimistic side, what say you membership? :)

I am single, and I still think it's a pain in the ass to crawl over that exhaust after taking a swim. Lol :D

So I kinda agree with you, just hard to be "negative" about a friends boat, hence the "to each his own" comment. I still
Want to be able to go for rides In it ... Haha

I not negative about anybody's stuff. But I know for a fact that wouldn't fly. All my toys are too loud, too uncomfortable and she's always dealt with it. But one look at that and its do-over time. :biggrin:
