    very nice. would love to see more pics.

    i thought zeus had integrated thru hub exhaust....why the conventional exhaust outlets.....even if you plumbed all overboard discharges to dump into them to avoid thru hulls, seems like you could have done much smaller outlets...

    very nice lines. nice level ride on plane...

    Zeus drives do have a thru hub exhaust, but it's not large enough for the C9 Cats 575hp. We had to bypass 4" of exhaust. The owners didn't want to have a 4" exhaust stub...thought it would look wimpy. So we built larger ovals that the bypass, gen exhaust, and ac raw water discharge to.

    They made a good decision to go with the larger ports.

    Donnie, that is one pretty boat. You guys did an outstanding job. What is the time frame on a build like that???

    donnie,

    thanks for taking the time to post pics and to respond. definitely the right call going with larger ovals for looks...

    dont forget to update your website and get the pics of this beauty up! we want to see more - would love to see what you guys did with the extra room midships that pod drives gives you...
