If you guys like loud, you should hear my separator with straight H/M manifolds out back high on transom [out of water]  A little boy came up to me on the beach last year and said, his mommy dont like me cause she thinks im a show off because my boats to loud. he said thats ok sir i like it its cool! so i gave him a ride! that didnt work out to well for his dad, he gave me the ok to do it.

| loud is a touchy subject with motors. i have never heard a ski nautique that sounds good in the boat. i wanted loud and clean, but after riding in a nautique this summer with straight pipe its horrible. its in no way shape or form a muscle rumble, but a loud drone. on the other hand loud sounds great on offshore racing boats. these boats are cranking serious hp, and have the muscle/drag car cam lope to them. theres a huge difference. these boats simply dont have the hp or exhaust system to sound loud and good at the same time but thats my opinion.plus its nice to hear the guy next to you in a ski boat since were not racing |

I think most would agree our '73 sounds loud and very nice!
It sounds awesome from the tow rope! ------------- Gary http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=941" rel="nofollow - 1965 Barracuda SS |

The sound of the 73 Skier was one of the things that stuck with me as a selling point. There is nothing like the sound of the exhaust ports slowly raising out of the water as you get on a plane. I get comments nearly every time I go out about how good it sounds. If you want conversation go get a coffee. ------------- "working on these old boats may not be cost effective but as it shows its what it brings into your life that matters" -Roger http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4897" rel="nofollow - 1973 Skier |

Getting back to the OP, have you noticed a surplus of water in the bildge that would indicate a hole or crack in the exhaust? You might check the condition of the baffle(s) inside the muffler. ------------- '86 Silver Nautique 2001 |

I think this sounds ok. (The chase boat, the second one to accelerate) The tow boat sounds pretty good too, but the chase boat is drowning it out (only because its closer to the camera) But you get a feel for the tow boat too, at the end.

There is loud sounding. There is good tone and then there is just plain irritating. There are a bunch of offshore cigarette boat guys that ride up and down our narrow lake channel. Shakes the coffee out of your cup...... which is cool to the 10 year olds and irritating to everyone else. Loud does not always equal good.  ------------- https://tinyurl.com/y6t5e3bu" rel="nofollow - 04 Air206 http://tinyurl.com/9urzgls" rel="nofollow - 91 Barefoot 78 SkiTiq |

Cool video, Larry. That was a great morning! An inboard has a certain unmistakable tone to it, no matter how faint or far away, you can tell it's an inboard. ------------- |

Kyle, welcome to the site, There is a lot of good information here. Boat exhaust is a topic of ongoing conversation and you gave an excuse to keep it going. People post here for a variety of reasons beyond just fixing stuff. Take the info that you need, and indulge us for the rest. You may even learn to enjoy the running commentary. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died.

It certainly is a hot topic on CCF.
Muffled or not, a v8 inboard has an unmistakable sound. Those OB's just can't replicate the sound of a real ski boat. ------------- 78 martinique- refloored, reinforced, stringers re glassed, re engineered interior GT40P heads Edelbrock Performer intake acme 4 blade http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v64/horkn/fish/nautique.jpg |

I must agree, my 96' may have the standard 351, but the sound that it produces is awesome, either in the drivers seat or behind it! ------------- levin |

schultz- you might be able to find someone on the site who has their muffler sitting in their garage and willing to give it to you for free/cheap.
We all agree with your right to have a quiet exhaust system, we just have the right to disagree about quiet being "best".  ------------- "I'm planning to bring my girl that rides on a trailer with me and leave my girl that complains about camping at home" |

Kyle:
I looked into this because I am not one in the "Loud crowd". They need to work out the application on 2000+ Nautiques but it may be a great option for you. These guys are looking for Correct Craft owners to work on some prototypes.........

Judging from Kyle's OP, I don't think he's opposed by a loud exhaust, rather concerned there could be a problem since its louder than normal. I'm sure the skier in his avatar was plenty loud. ------------- '86 Silver Nautique 2001 |

Forgive me 75 "ski Tique" but I owned a skier and I may be wrong but I doubt it,, isn't the 75 still called a skier, didn't make the switch till 76,, ------------- |

You are correct. When I bought my boat (apr 2004) half the paper work and the seller said it was a 75 and one piece of paper work said 76. I thought I had a 75 and since this site was pretty young there were neither the references nor the expertise to know otherwise and I signed up with the "75" moniker, only to find out a while later I had a 76. Oh well. Welcome, tho I see you signed up some time ago. As far as it appearing that some of us missed the point of your post, as said above, we didnt really. If you've been lurking these past couple years, you must realize a lot of us drift off topic pretty quickly sometimes. Ooooo look something shiney....I'll be right back. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Kyle - If you want a quiet exhaust, put a 'Fresh Air Exhaust' attachment on. I have one of these - basically there is no exhaust sound at all beyond what comes thru floor from the hose in the bilge. Quite the opposite point of view from most guys here. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

My 1973 came with straight 3" dual exhausts, and I kept it that way. No way I can compare to Holman Moody (arguably the BEST sound with their unique manifolds) but still echos off the trees about dusk.

I love the sound of my '63, and of inboards in general. It may be a little engine, but it definitely can be heard. I'd never muffle a boat that was made un-muffled almost 50 years ago.
I have a jet boat with 454. It's loud, sounds great, but .... I'm getting old because I had decided to quiet it down a bit. I just began to feel like I was bothering people with it, both in the boat and on shore. Now I think I'm going to sell it if I ever find the CC I'm looking for, but I definitely get both schools of thought. ------------- '63 American Skier - '98 Sport Nautique |
