That's a good point. Could be the difference between trapps and flappers. My trapps are 360 degrees and there's no way to point them any direction. Maybe there's more than one type of trapp?Quote:

Yeah, mine don't have any holes. See attached.Attachment 11300
Ok, so I don't have the pictures on my phone or computer when I removed my trapps but I think we are all talking about the same thing, just not the same part/area. The pucks that are sandwiched between the end cap and the transom are where the exhaust all come out. I have a short video clip of my boat running with the trapps before I removed them. It happens fast but you can see when there is a surge of water coming out the exhaust that it flows out in all directions.

Those look to be an "after market" mod done by a previous owner. All the classic supras that I see in lifts on our lake that still have the trapps all look like the ones I took off and the ones that Rob showed as well. That sure is interesting though, perhaps they were trying to "open" the exhaust up some.
Yeah, that looks similar to someone drilling out the baffle on motorcycle exhaust pipes to "open it up." That's definitely not stock.
I bet that nets an extra 5 HP per hole drilled at least! :DQuote:

And they definitely made a difference as far as how the exhaust was exiting and the water was being splashed/churned.
ha ha .. I thought the trapps were ok at first but i like that sleek tip kinda look ...
winter projects :
hydro trim tab
new wake tower
more 6.5" speakers x4
custom Bimini top with racks , and beads for the tie -ups lol
I just threw that pic in to show the tower from another perspective. The exhaust bubbles are just more pronounced cause it's loaded with ~2400 lbs of ballast. FWIW - 800 rpm idle, flappers, and slatted teak platform.
Good luck with the winter projects, Lively - still hoping to get a trip or two in before I start on my winter list.
what is up guys !! jeeze i feel like i have been so busy !! .. i have been looking at new ideas , getting decals made up for the sides and also i think i have LED fever !! lol
i found some 5050 smd RGB waterproof strip lights on ebay for 40$ and i think im gonna try some on the back transom .. thoughts? they are wrapped in silicone sleeve and have screw down clips to hold it ... also anybody in the market for a 351 winsor with new water logs and accessories? 1200.00 is what i want ...
i want to put a fuel injected engine but idk if gm bell housing will work or if i can get a adapter .. thoughts?
other words .. i have new baby boy wyatt levi lively feb 6th .. lol so now i got 2 little munchkins ! how is everyone !!
Congrats on the new baby Lively! I hope this won't keep you from working on the boat.
I've done some of those same upgrades this winter. Decals and LEDs. The changes are subtle, but it's something that at least I'll appreciate. What are you thinking about for decals?
supra on the sides , pin striping to blend the colors in and hopefully have a new tower soon .. money is a little tight but thats what side jobs are for !! lolQuote:

and also someone remind me how to upload videos .. i have a gopro hero 3 now and id like to take some HD videos for the forum and my thread
need some help .. i bought led strip lights RGB and each strip is 5 meters long .. since i redone my interior by hand i ready have no way to hide the leds and just show the light ..
trying to figure out what to do , i want to run some leds along the side panels i made but cant seem to figure out how to conceal how i mount them with a finished look for daylight outings ... any thoughts ?
I have an 86 Supra Sunsport Skier that I wont part with. However my kids want a tower. What did you decide on and where would you suggest getting one from.
I read every bit of your saga and am truly impressed with your rebuild effort. Way to go...
