Holy header collectors beavis

[wzuber]

Saw this clean hydro sitting in Parker on my way to Davis hardware and was shocked at the collector length. Never seen them that long before especially w/o braces. Just thought I'd share these pix, kinna interesting and boating related.

Compensating for something?

What hull is that??

I saw that in the Walmart parking lot today. Thought it was odd but didn’t know if they served a purpose. Definitely not my style. But that boat is clean and if the guy likes them, I say run it.

Looking at the wing, I'd say yeah.

Enhanced scavenging & torque.

Can’t tell on my phone. Are the headers water jacket?
Maybe to dump water out the exhaust and not into the boat?

There are injectors on the bottom of each tube. Just like Bassett's would have.

Looks like there may be nozzles at the bottom of the primaries.

Not on untimed BBC headers...especially bassetts....those things hurt more than they help. It's to keep water outta the boat

I’d say you and Gelcoater are correct.

That used to be Tom Weaver’s boat. Much has changed since.

That was my thinking, they extend past the transom a touch so no exhaust water on the paint......form follows function.
Not certain on the injection. I was in too much a hurry to notice.

Yaaa, no. Could be a really bitchin River Hydro. Trailer wheels are bomb though!

What's with the plate on the top of the carbs, is that to mount a prostock scoop of the owner wanted to go that style?

I thought that “boat” looked familiar.

 

[I Dig It !]

Thats rad

 

[jetboatperformance]

Funny too , a Blower motor wont like/doesnt need 4 tube headers with 2 inch primaries at all
