    Thru-hull exhaust: Mid-engine/drive shaft/Alpha-1 Outdrive

    1988 Chris-Craft Scorpion 210 BR Ski-Jack So, I'm trying to figure out what I need to install thru-hull exhaust on my boat. Corsa said they don't have a set up for a configuration like mine. It's a mid-engine boat, with a driveshaft (jack-shaft) back to an Alpha 1 drive. Any thoughts...

    Should I add vents?

    Dark Teak Finish (rather than natural)?

    I was wondering: Has anyone found/used a dark finish on their teak rather than a natural one? My boat is a white hull with gray/red/black stripes and accents, and I'm interested in finishing the teak accents in a color other than the natural (and yes, pretty) teak finish. Any thoughts or...
