I have been on the hunt for one and may decide to have one made instead. Any heads up would be appreciated Taras BreakAway #532

I bought fiberglass tube from Jamestown Distributors for the exhaust when I redid the transom on Rhapsody.

Bill's idea of a fiberglass pipe will probably really bond well. On 526 we used the existing one as the inside skin was sound. and Horatio just worked from the inside skin out.
