no other header except the wrap to flush would put the pipe coming straight out anywhere near the center of the transom. A 100º might be close to the exit, but you'd probably have to cut the hatch some.

Heres where my NFS pipe with 100º header exits on my cat.

http://www.americanrcboats.com has them in aluminum and ss. 110 would put the pipe at the right corner of the boat...lol. You'd want a 105/106 at most..but a 100 should get it close to where you wanna keep it.

I think a 100* would get you close as your engine is pretty far forward. it is a lot more forward than Believe it is. Test fit before you cut.



I have been following your build, very nicely done! [8D]

if you can lower it 1/4" you might not have to cut your hatch any more.

Zac at American RC is a good guy to deal with too.
The SS headers have a bigger radius bend on them, so they stick out the side a little more and move everything to the left. If you go SS then I would recommend the 105*

I'll make you a deal, if the 100 doesn't fit I will buy it from you as long as it is uncut. [8D] I need another 100 so I will wait to buy until your satisfied.

I sold the cmb (A few months back). to pay bills I have 2 boats the skater and the supercat.[&:] And which both are faster than any of your ANCHOR YACHTS. and I still like nitro. I,m not the type of person to say since gas is here now, I don,t like nitro even since they have been way faster since the eighties[&:] And further more I don,t appreciate when you say(not that I really care what you have to say you do it to other people alot) and I quote Oh the boat you bought off ebay(which is also faster than your$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$boats)that explaines it. I don,t know if you are constantly having a bad day or what????????? besides I have no clue what I,m talking about because I,m not in your 8ft+ 15,000k 4cmb35'd boat that is big enough to ride in and pull a skier. And when one of your boats goes outof control and hits somebody,dock or another boat you are going to kill somebody or somebodies.I've already seen a near miss on a dock at 50+ with somebody standing on it[X(]


PS I BOUGHT MY PIECE OF (RUBBISH) SUPERCAT OFF OF EBAY ALSO

I don,t have anything right now. But I,m going to get a modified sikk 27, Then one of those new M&D motors when the price comes down. Or a used qd 25ht
How does this equate to having 2 boats ( skater and the supercat ) that are faster than JAW's anchor yachts?

Thanks Mate
I know it is not easy to just keep spending money without knowing for sure if your getting better performance, I am confident that 45Deepvee will have better performance but not positive about the fit on his exact boat, just offering a guaranteed buy back if the fit isn't right. [8D]
