Dude loved the videos of your restoration project, salute from over in the UK!

Great work. Love the project. Love the choice in beer to. Keep it up buddy

I have watched most of your vids & it makes me wonder why those of us that build our own projects really do it. lol As I am planning my next project. The boat is turning out great. I have always wanted to do a boat.

You're a badass dude, great job brother

thanks for this video and the others i'll be watching them a few times before I grow the balls to cut the holes.

Nice job:) one thing-you Mount the exhaust cover over a sticker.... On caravans i work With the stickers get loose and water Gets in. :) but this Was the best time i have spent on youtube.. Good Bye from norway

I put side exhausts from Hardin Marine on my Donzi Regazza 25. I followed a lot of your instructions and the job went perfectly. For a boat that is rare. Thanks for the video.

Glad that it worked out. It was scary cutting the holes.

The templet was the key. That was a great suggestion. I took my exhaust tips put them on my copy machine and copied the exterior end of the pipe to make my template out of and it worked perfect. It also copied the inside where the exhaust comes out so that made it easier getting the template cut out exactly where it needed to be. And yeah it is scary cutting two big holes in your boat down there the water line. I wish the manufacturers would send templates that would make things a lot easier and quicker.

thanks for all these very good vids from germany !!!!!!!!!!!! i wish you a lot of fun on water !!!!

@Winmacguy No need to remove the manifolds. Just the turn downs after the manifold. Everything was done with the engine in the boat, and was a very easy installation.

after hearing it i might invest in one of these exhausts for my 5.7 1984 cobia cuddy

Love your funny videos...

my rotozip cut through 3/4 plywood, carpet, and fiberglass like butter for a big 10" subwoofer

It has a diverter for the Corsa system. If you do a straight through exhaust, yes you have to remove the y pipe and block it off.

Get yourself a roto zip for the next time. Makes easy work in 1/3 the time in cutting. And since its high speed, no gelcoat flaking.

As a vinyl guy, his cutting makes my spine twist 😅

I love the sound the thru hull exhaust. I just wish I could do it on my boat, but they don't make a kit for mine. I know theres got to be a way to do it.

I just subcrbed to your chanel. You are pretty awesme! Thank you so much for all of the help your videos provide!

the tape will also help keep from scratching the boat also

Best laid plans of mice and men actually.

Great Job!!! Thanks for all the helpful information.. Did you have to modify the out drive water pickup unit and or the through hub exhaust???

Is that the same POS jig saw I bought at Harbor freight?

how is the exhaust originally on your boat? I want to do something similar with mine but my exhaust runs through the outdrive right now. Do you know if I can change that?

Its best not to have both battery's on the drivers side ,with the drivers weight and the battery"s weight you will have a listing problem. All in all you did a great job reverse building that Sea Ray. I built Sea Ray boats for over 10 years at the Oxford Michigan plant and building on the assembly line was much easier than your project so hats off to you for doing a great job.

+multibasshole I ended up not doing that setup, but you are right

Rebuilding the exact boat right now. Got a question…. The engine turns over but will not fire to crank. Any ideas??

did you have to block off the hole from the y pipe when you installed the thru hull exhaust? I have an alpha one with a 454 and i want to do thru hull exhaust.

Understand the install process as I am going thru the same thing with my 1976 Fiberform ... but, have a question re the wall thickness itself. Was the fiberglas sidewall thickness enough to support the exhaust assy as well as the tubing and tolerate the stresses and strains put on the sides of the boat during operation? Did you consider adding reinforcing on the inside of the sidewall??

HI Jay. Can you mount the second battery over by the trim pump?

Hey man, great vids. You are a true boater with that coors light box haha! I have two questions: do you have to replace freeze plugs? And what's the best leave on wax for a clean and long lasting finish? I have a 2001 formula 34 pc.

Doesn’t the exhaust normally go through the stern drive?

Do have a part number or anything for the diverters you used? I have the same boat and can’t find them anywhere

Which kit did u purchase?.

When making templates like you are doing get a ballpein hammer and tap the inside. It will cut it out so slick you will never go back doing it any other way

Brave! I could never cut into my boat....

I'm just scrolling through some videos I don't know if you know now but they have jigsaw blades with reverse teeth that are for cutting formica and counter tops which also can be used on fiberglass, and they will not chip the surface of what you're cutting but you probably figured that out I'm sure

Nylocs, on an exhaust?

downward facing teeth in the jigsaw make a neat job on the surface, just saying.

his boat is cool

on my boat we have a battery on each side with a switch to select battery 1 or 2 or both

YOU DONT HAVE DUAL BATTERIES?

This takes balls.

thanks

Why doesn’t it come with a template

We have been watching almost all of your videos and love the work that you have done. The Corsa exhaust looks great! We have been looking to get the same Corsa exhaust that you have, but we haven't had that much luck. We were wondering where you got your system and how you ordered it. Thanks

hindsight is 20/20 right?

What motor do you have and where did you order the corsa exhaust from? thanks

Nice boat and so perform work thanks for VDO good job by away where i can get order buy Exhaust to side of rear boat ?, my boat engine is OMC 4.3 V6 Thanks for you VDO so fun to watch it. Thanks Tony from LA, CA

Invest in an Oscillating tool...Well worth the money and will quickly become your #1 cutting tool. @15:50 I notice it appears that you cut your opening a little to much and had no haul to bolt through but rather barley grabbed. Not being nit picky (ok I am) but after the phenomenal and professional job you did with the floor rot project I was a little let down here. They look and sound great think maybe you rushed the project and now have to live with the minor mistakes......

shouldve fabricated a battery cage so you can stack the batteries 1 on top of the other

All I have is MT Dew boxes , so I guess it won't work for my boat. 😃

Black and decker boat wrecker

Don't know if you still get these comments . Next time get a small ball peen hammer and with the ball end tap that inside of the circle opening and as you do that it will cut he cardboard just a slick as willie and that sir is how you make gaskets for anything odd shaped . you then take the cardboard to the cork gasket material and trace it out . Thank you . Small ball peen ..

It must be a VERY small hammer; or a (~~1/2") drill bit,a steel rod,a wrench,a ratchet, etc

Wait! You didn't start it!

i sure hope to god you ground out some wood from the inside of that hole you cut out, and filled it with resin. or Epoxy Fairing Powder , once water enters between glass, it delams and all that work gone to waste

SIR BACK GROUND VOICE SO BALDLY IN UR ALL VIDEOS SO PLS CLEAR VOICE BACK GROUND PLS

A cutting torch would have been a lot quicker to do that.... and when I say “do that” I mean “ruin that”

Hack tack an wack

You should have listened to your daughter when she asked you if it would be deep enough

Get ur self a hole cuter they make stuff to cut holes u know ur not the first man to have to cut a ⭕️

I have installed more than a few captains call , Have you ever heard of a hole saw I would suggest you invest in a few . And why the hell you would come out the sides other than out the rear is besides me . I think that you go out of the way to make things more difficult for no other reason then to have over thought shit so much it now becomes a cluster fuck . What benefits people doing restorations is experience to not go down some of the wrong roads you have traveled . I think its great for you to experiment on your boat . that being said I think you thinking that you are teaching someone something is a falsehood .. I promise you that if a person goes through the transom and uses the proper sealant you will not have transom rot . What about your though transom gimbal housing did you not cut a large hole in your transom . Like a said you make things harder than they need to be . why install a captains call to begin with so that the engine performs better . No ! So it sounds cool Yes . Just as think all this talk you do sounds cool when if you knew what you were doing to begin with the boat would have been done months ago . Instead you want to teach people all the mistakes . Teach them the correct way the first time

I just found out these are illegal in minnesota. Just after I bought on for my kid. So now I am stuck with it. Also found out that it's illegal to even sell one here. Wtf is wrong with this stupid state. Oh democrats😅
