I can always get one going but we will need 4-5 people total, normally its 5 but I'm sure i can get it for 4. Discount will most likely be $50 off as that's what they have been running discounts for.
Let me know.
What is a FAE and why would I want/need one?
2013 Outback V
2003 SeaRay 182 -- gone but not forgotten...
Check them out here, lots of infoQuote:

I am interested, but would love to hear from people who have this installed and what they think of it.
I have ran them on my LSV and the Mojo and i personally love how its more quite in the boat. I find it very relaxing to actually cruise at 21+ and hear the water splashing off the hull.
You still hear the engine but its a lot quiter, pretty simular to how your muffler makes your car quite.
Here is the thread i had for the last one i ran

And here is the 2012 one i ran.

Agree with Mike. Here is mine. All my future boats will have one as well. Definitely worth the $$.

What has been your guys' experience with on-going tinkering to keep them in place, tight, connected properly, etc.??
I've done a little reading across different forums and the end result dropped this lower on my wish list.
So i can understand the FAE reducing the noise, but how does it reduce carbon monoxide? All the FAE is doing is pushing the exhaust down maybe 18 inches lower in the water, it will still bubble up right? Is it that it bubbles up further back behind the surfer now instead of in front of him?
The FAE doesn't reduce carbon monoxide.Quote:

What it does do is while surfing it causes all exhaust gases to be pushed under water, and they actually exit through the wave and vent to atmosphere behind your surfer.
If you ever watch while surfing the exhaust outlets are above the water line but still being somewhat directed away by the tilt in the swim deck.
The biggest improvements I have noticed with the FAE is that when you surf, the surfer can no longer smell the exhaust. Also we had several people including Claudia and myself getting headachs behind the LSV. This does not happened on the Mojo before the FAE. I think its due to the new engines burning cleaner and the CAT. Mind you, the CAT does not stop carbon monoxide as its an ordorless gas.
The other big improvement that I had noticed, and I have noticed this behind the Mojo before the FAE, and I noticed it behind a lot of boats I have been behind. No more exhaust smell when you come off plane when surfing and wake boarding during your turn around.
I think the rush of smell behind the boat when you come off plane is because the wave behind the boat splashes up on the swim deck and pushes all that exhaust smell into the cabin area.
