Side Exhaust vs. Out the Back

I'm just telling you what he told me. He's done a couple of other FBC's with the same exact setup and has had no issues. The hold-up is that I had to come out early last fall to get a spot in the yard that's close to the gate ans the road. First one out equals last one in. I.E. I'm buried behind a bunch of other boats.

I've got to learn more about those weird exhaust systems that some of you guys have. Must be frustrating to have to wait that long to see how she'll run, I can definitely sympathize. Looking forward to hearing your reports on cruise speed and ecomnomy.

I have never liked the idea of side exhaust. Why would you want to put it to the side when you have a stait shot out the back. Unrestricted at cruise, better flow.All are +'s. Mike
