Because they suck.
Front exhausts are noisy and have only one purpose - letting riders with less skill do tailstands. :haha:
Scuppers suck because they sink boats. You're much better off with a good hood seal and two bilge pumps.
JMHO, off course.

Why cant you do tailstand with rear exhaust? ive done it a couple times and i suck...
-sand outdoors or cover anything not being sanded
-a magnet on a stick can come in handy when you drop stuff
-have some general idea of how you ski goes together if you plan on taking it apart, or take lots of pics as you go for reference.

matt_e: Do all aftermarket hoods seal well? Or do some of them? Why do peopl einstall scuppers in the first place? Is defoaming a god idea?
shadow: You can do tailstands without front exhaust for a few seconds.. and then you'll stall. I think the engine needs a certain amount of backpressure to work... when you submerge the tail too far under water the pressure changes and your engine stalls.

Excellent advice!! Maybe have a beer while on said break, lol.
Depends on the hood - you get what you pay for.
Because it's the popular thing to do and everyone thinks they need one or two scuppers.
If your foam's wet.
My engine doesn't stall doing that.
and because it gets water out in a tiny fraction of the time it takes bilge pumps to remove water.

and then sinks your boat in a fraction of a second when its upside down:Banane35:
:haha::haha::haha::haha: I may have to adjust that for my purposes but I love it!
ive told you 100,000,000 times not to exaggerate!
so, maybe you like water sloshing around your engine for a minute or 2 while it gets pumped out. i prefer mine to be gone in seconds. i have riding to do.

Those knuckes will usually go for the nearest hose clamp or other sharp object so you cut the chit out of your hand and throw the wrench while screaming %%&^*&^$%$#$@^#^**())...

Spend the 30.00 to make your own pressure testing kit and PRESSURE TEST the engine BEFORE u install it and get to the lake to find u have a/or several small air leaks!!!

I own one boat with a front exhaust ,it was built that way from Kawi,I just haven't gotten around to running a rear exhaust setup yet,I am building a boat with a scupper but it will also have a sump pump valve ,a pump tunnel exit and a perko rubber scupper on the exit along with a bilge pump and an upgraded stock bilge system.
no. scuppers are where its at. hood seals are just a fad.... like standups.
