Replacing the Exhaust Tubes

Once the structural work was complete and the fuel and electrical systems were re-installed, it was time to put the engine back in the boat.  I had my BIL come and help with the installation.  Below are some pictures of the day and a time lapse video that I also made.

The exhaust tubes were in pretty rough shape.  So, I replaced them shortly after installing the engine in the boat, as they seemed to be restricting the performance at the high end.  Based on what they looked like inside, there was no question about it.
