    Here's one so you can see my brackets



    Lots of allthread and nylocks. SS allthread is tough to find -- I lucked out and found the last piece at the local TruValue.

    it's called a business. I use to build playhouses. I had a lady tell me her husband could build one twice as big for the price I was asking. I laughed and said " so could I.“

    I had a pain getting mine to stay on initially due to the upward angle of my exhaust ports at the transom but I got a fix in place now and it works great. Can't imagine not having it at this point. We can actually have a conversation in the boat without yelling while crossing the lake at 30 mph to get to our riding spot. I have all the options as far as quick release and what not. That made the install quite a bit longer. image.jpg

    one negative aspect of it is I now am a little paranoid regarding engine noise because I can hear it now.

    I've also been on the fence about these. About how much are they? Any notice in top speed or handling/turning with one installed?

If you have a home depot then you could probably do this for much less.
    I *really* like how this turned out. And the center outlet that you heated and pressed looks amazing. Seeing yours is making me consider doing one now. Well, not to mention that even after adding a pair of Compression Horn Tubbies to my tower that I just Just hear the music enough to enjoy it while surfing...

    And living in Vancouver WA, we have a pair of Home Depots that are JUST on the Oregon side of the river (no sales tax). Would it be too much trouble to write up a parts list of what items you bought to make yours?
