Title: Exhaust is too Loud
Post by: grumpypa on June 20, 2017, 06:48:05 AM

First post-
Recently purchased an '88 Rogers (454) 21' jet / Open / 4" thru transom with flappers

I'm a previous owner of 2 other similar boats, but don't recall the exhaust being so loud, or maybe I liked the noise back then-
25 years later, Now introducing grandchildren to the river.....maybe I'm getting old & would like a little conversation with-out yelling over the loud exhaust.  Also it would be nice to listen to music while underway.

Any suggestions on silencers or mufflers would be appreciated.

You're already through transom. I Think they make some mufflers but I'm not sure

Maybe carry ear plugs or mufflers that's what me and the kids so in mine. Which is LOUD

Ride in Steve's boat, then you'll know what LOUD is.
