Please tell me you did not just say if they were jet boat headers they would be pointing forward?

You do know that it is the upward angle that makes them jet boat headers. V-drive headers tend to be level with the hull when mounted on an engine with the front down and back up. Jet boat headers tend to point way up in the air when mounted in a V-drive, since a jet sits with the rear of the engine lower than the front.

The headers can be turned around and put on the other head to keep them pointing the right way regardless if you run off the nose or the flywheel. Circle boats generally run off the nose.

But are you saying your Wriedt is a drag boat? Looks like a cool lake cruiser to me.
