Anybody have dates for Plowman’s this fall? Trying to get a jump on reservations… Thx

Forecast not looking good for Friday and Saturday at Lake Whitney.

Good to hear, I’ll be in 22 if all goes as planned. Looking forward to this…

I’m with you, I’m ready to make some noise. Boat, not so much. At the moment the engine is out and I’m redoing the entire driveline. I think the guy who rigged this boat was smoking something POWERFUL. A leaking prop shaft cover exposed so much more. But I have parts and patience to see it...

Some nice water up here in East Texas also. Problem though is all the debris that washes in from all the rain we’ve been getting.

Thanks Patchman. It has an oily silicone substance under it. When I pulled a couple screws the oily substrate adhered to them. So, I'm planning on pulling the engine to access the back half screws. Big oil pan is about two inches off the hull floor restricting access. This alignment log was...

Big water leak at the self aligning shaft log through the screws, around the screws, under the screws, you name it. Any ideas on the fix?

Just installed chemicalguys two disc baffle and they helped tame the raspy sound. I’m going to put some outings on these and see where it gets me. I’m willing to take those off your hands if you’re looking to make a little space. PM me

What kind of inserts do you have available?

That’s funny. After lots of research it seems the best option for me is the 4” Gibson clamp-on mufflers. They’re priced between $600-737, depending where you buy them. The Borla 4-pipe mount setup is quality stuff but it’s overpriced imo, and it removes the collector extension area (4”) where...

Good to know… I’m working feverishly to reduce my db.

I’m a v-drive. I read a comment on an old post that said “do you want to buy your mufflers before or after your excessive noise ticket?” I think that’s spot on. When I was involved with drag racing NHRA wanted to muffle the sportsman classes in the mid-nineties and most guys sucked it up and...

That’s a good idea. At present I don’t have the plumbing for wet headers although my Bassets have the plumbing bosses installed and currently plugged. I’ll need to look into the plumbing further than I have but from what I’ve read so far is a little discouraging… valves, pills, switches, rpm...

Looking for a pair of GGB header inserts for my 4” collector Bassets. Company doesn’t support marine stuff anymore and I’ve read lots of favorable comments about their efficiency.

Good to know, thank you. Presently, I’m sporting open OT Bassets and trying my best to pull the sound down 8-10 db to not draw their attention. I’ve noticed lots of references in older threads to GGB header inserts. Company is alive and well but no longer supporting the marine side like they...
