I am going to wait til we actually measure and test before saying completely they do as good a job as an FAE. But one area where they do better, is at idle or near idle. FAE doesn't help at all then.
    I was just hassling Timmy!. This is the one thing we never see eye to eye on and I never miss an opportunity to poke him with a stick about it.

    I'm with duffy on this. I hate even riding in boats without FAEs. Instant headache. Maybe its all the years spent sucking exhaust in and behind towboats in the pre-FAE era. The FAE to me is still the hottest thing since sliced bread.

    Moving on, this thread is about Guma's new boat. We should respect that.

    You gonna put an FAE on that thing Guma?
    You'll get your chance, smart guy.

      Boat is looking awesome Guma!
      Guma's boat has that awesome PCM Catanium Engine in it that meets the California Super-Ultra-Low Emissions Vehicle (SULEV) criteria! Not sure if those FAE equipped boats can boast that. That standard says "A car that meets the SULEV standard will have .01 grams/mile hydrocarbon emission, 1.0 grams/mile of carbon monoxide emissions, .02 grams/mile of nitrous oxide and .01 grams/mile of particulate matter emissions."
      PCM!

        Does PCM even still ship engines without CAT exhausts?

          Not in the US except for the 6.2L Supercharged.

                Yep, it will beat home, and give Tony and the guys time to plumb in some extra ballast.

                      You did such a great job picking gel coat combos. So many variables -- looks like a winner here

                          The custom sacs out of your RZ should be a direct fit into the Z3. let me know if there are any problems or questions.

                          Cant wait to see her completed and on the water, I know you are stocked

                              They were from my Ve, but either way they are going in the Z3 and they should drop right in. Tony and the guys are going to plumb in an extra vent, fill and empty pumps, on each side. Trying to cut down my 15+ mins of waiting to got those custom sacs full.

                                and now for more pics... Yep Jean sent me two sets of pictures yesterday, have I said how much she ROCKS!!!!

                                Rub rail going on. Went with stainless and Gray, should look really sharp. You can also see the Stone colored speaker rings I opted for on the tower.


                                Rub rail almost done


                                Rear shot with Tower, and you can see the 2 underwater transom lights as well.


                                And the Glamour shot... Tower, tower speakers, rub rail (covered up for shipping) and windshield.


                                I believe the vinyl is next, then prep for shipping to sunny Florida!
