Nice pictures, thanks for sharing. Do they just route both engines exhaust out one set of pipes due to room on the transom or in the engine compartment? Lots of surface drives!

Many boats have one side of the motors exhaust going through the side of the boat closest
to that motor, and the other side of the motors exhaust going back through the transom.
Some have the front motor exhaust out the sides, and the back motor exhaust out the
back. The Sheds Plus, white boat with SCS drives has 2 out the back, and 1 out each side.

Some older engine designs, use a "Y pipe" configuration, where 2 go into 1.

Pete,

I can not remember whose prop that was. I will look through my pictures
to see.

I did not go back on Sun for the race. I did go to Lido Beach on Sat for some
testing and caught the super stock group and a few others going at it.

A few in my thread below

The first 2 and last 2 pictures are not to bad.

Here is a pic of my son, in the pits thinking he is a rock star, in Jeffs nitrous golf cart.
