Default OMG!Just bought a Expresscraft Thunderbolt!

Well, I have just ordered and paid for a T-bolt from Carl , Plumkrazyboats.
4-5 weeks of waiting game, he´s got a couple of other boats to build before mine gets ready and shipped to Finland.
Might be the first one in Finnish waters?

He is going to build the boat without the engine, pipe and radio gear.
I´m on a budget now so I will be dropping my old engine and zero band steel pipe in it to start with and probably later uppgrade to QD with Hotpipe.
Gonna blow my tax rebates on that one in december!

What I would like to know is, wich header to use in this hull to make the pipe fit?

I was looking at BH Hanson #11 and #13 headers, #11 is a 45/90 1" out 1" drop and the #13 is 25/90 1" drop 3" out...

I know there is forward turn deep v-hull headers too, wich would work too with some bending,I have seen a drop down header somewhere, but hows the performance in these headers?
Edit: found this already...

But the header q needs some help still..

Cheers!
