:EDIT:
I didn't have any coffee before those numbers were posted.
I'm actually only saving about 1/4 lb of foam.
So, the weight addition of the scupper is 1-1/4 lbs.
Come on Darin, that was so 1 page ago :haha: :Banane09:

I didn't know what scupper valve I was going to use.
So, after I decided on an X-Metal, I also decided where I was gonna run the tube out. :cheer:

I got the exhaust in this weekend.
More good ol' HEAVY PVC. :smile:
It really added about 1 lb, so I'm not too concerned.
I had to modify the XFT exhaust cover, but it will still work fine.
In retrospect, if I had the $200 to spend, I would have bought the whole side exhaust kit from Sergio...:frown:
I also added three layers of 7 oz unidirectional glass behind the exhaust (since that's my primary roll landing side).
I drilled the steering nut hole, and got that to fit.
I will be 3M'ing the cooling and trim tubes tonight.

It's a flatwater thing - you wouldn't understand. LOL!:biggrin:
I figured while I'm in there, I might as well do something custom with the exhaust. I liked the way Sergio's boats come with the side rear exhaust, so I went with it. The main purpose is to be quieter that split exhaust (front/rear), as well as leaving room for an additional scupper on the exhaust side. I am not putting a second scupper in there, so my main reason is for tailstand convineince. Even thogh, I pretty much don't do those anymore.

It was leftover from my sprinkling...
But, since it IS code, maybe I can have it inspected before I glue on the top deck? LOL!:biggthumpup:

Are you sure using PVC as an exhaust tube ?? Those exhaust gas can get pretty hot sometimes . I once used a PVC t-fitting for my front exhaust and after a few months it started to warp and lose exhaust gases at the connections
PAt at x-metal has made me some very sweet thin wall aluminium side exhaust tube and exit for me at a very reasonable price. The same that can be found on Pete's and Pat's boats.
The last thing you want is to open up the back end again if you encounter problems witht the exhaust
