Deciding weather to polish, or have them Jet Hot coated to keep the heat down. That stuff does wonders

WOW Brandon that looks BADASS!!!!!

Thanks guys for all the positive feedback. This has been something I've wanted to do now for a few years. Sometimes it pays off to wait for the deals to come. The whole exhaust conversion cost me around $200

I got everything fabbed up, bolted on and tested. This boat hasnt run this good since ive owned it. with the new 4" center rise exhaust, and the new split bowl and mini droop(thanks Nordie), this thing picked up around 200rpms, and what feels like about 8-10mph. The droop made such a huge difference, you can feel the boat lift when you stab the throttle, and free up and go.

Not that loud from the cockpit. Awesome from behind! Not that hot. Water didn't sizzle after shutting it down

I finally got some new kicks for the trailer. My issue was that they are 50 series tires, but 90% so it'd be stupid to buy new tires for the wheels. I decided to lower the fenders down to match, which im glad I did, because I actually wanted to raise the boat on the trailer to get the side above the fenders.
heres before and after fender lowering-[attachimg=1][attachimg=2][attachimg=3]

to be quite honest with you Gord, its probably not worth my time to put any filler pieces, as its only a 1/2" gap, and not that noticeable. at least your new wheels are 17's so they take up at least 2" more than mine do. These wheels are 15's.

When I took my bow rail off last summer, I was left with some holes in the deck. Terry machined some caps for me, and I polished them up. I think it looks more complete now.[attachimg=1][attachimg=2]
