Will car headers work if you flip them upside down? I found 2 stingers (one straight and one curved) for a baja bug exhaust that almost bolts up to the flanges - I can make them work with some drilling and high-temp silicone. I was also going to shoot some chrome paint from Kragen on them for that "show boat" look.
Will the straight up exhaust slow me down at 150 mph?
I also found some over-the-bow headers on eBay that might also work.
Has anyone put Suburu seats in their boat? They are way comfy, but need a little vinyl repair.

I also have a GT steering wheel from my Toyota truck that I would like to put in my boat - anyone know where I can get an adapter?
I also have a real nice Chromed Fram Air cleaner, but it is slightly oversized....can I make slits on the flange and then use a big hose clamp to hold it in place??
150 mph will be so much fun.

Where is the best place to put the radiator?
I got some of that sweet colored radiator hose cover stuff and a nice chromed fan.
I was also thinking of getting some of those trick stainless hand rails from Home Depot and using them for o-chit handles....do I need to through-bolt them through the fiberglass, use wood screw, or JB Weld?

Hay I did see a boat with a radiator in it at a cdba race, what's up with that? Are they trying to get the heat up in the motor?

Ken Zeal used to run one in his pro gas jet. Said he really liked it and could control engine temp much better. That was mid 80's. The idea never seemed to catch on though.
