Rubber hose or fiberglass exhaust tube??

Back in the day the fishiest boat I know of was Bone Shaker, an old Whiticar that had 6-71 NA's in it. It was slow, like 13 knots at cruise, but that boat would win just about every tournament it entered in. It helped that it had a great Captain as well, VJ Bell at the time. But they repowered the boat with modern power 5-10 years ago and it suddenly didn't catch nearly as much fish.

I'd want solid glass tubes through the boat with rubber to mount them at both the transom and exhaust riser to allow some movement for the transom or motor.

Small world! I fished with VJ down at Chub a long time ago when she had the 671's and she did bring them to the transom. Took him, Butch, KJ and Billy Ridgeway out the next day on the boat in my sig pic (with the hard mounted 1271's) and we about bent a rigger with flags. Never used the riggers, all flat line bites but with that pit crew the boat probably didn't matter much!
