Default GGB Muffler Failure

I had Graham at GGB build a custom set of Extremes with down tubes last year. They worked great until this weekend. A wield let go and one muffler is gone. Anyone seen this happen before?

Man, I really hate to see that. Sorry to hear about your failure.

I just put GGB's on this season and have been very pleased with them.

Looked at mine this weekend and they look great.

That looks like a very clean failure on yours.

Are you using a seperate pickup down there on the left for your innercooler? I have been trying to figure out where to put one on my boat being its only a single like yours and I don't want to do anything to screw up the water flowing acrossed the transom that would affect top speed,Smitty

Yes it separate, I installed it and blocked off the out drive P/U. My main P/U is directly opposite. I picked up 1-2 mph this way. I was having water burn problems on the lower drive and holes were burning into the drive behind the P/U at high speed. All is good now.

My neighbors boat did the same thing. Graham took care of it right away. I'd try to get in touch with him. If you have no luck, try Lofty here on the board. He might be able to help you.

Graham's whereabouts are unknown. Lofty is trying to help, but he is out of the country, and has no 4.5" clamp-ons in stock. For now I ordered the new CMI's from Fred. Lofty may be able to make me a new one but that’s a month away. When it happened I thought Graham would take care of it, but now I'm just out another grand instead.

I guess I'm no longer the only one that got screwed over by Graham.

I remember your troubles. At least he was in business at the time. I can't even yell at him.

His business was in the corner of a warehouse outside of Burkes Falls Ontario. I beleive his father and brother own a muffler shop there, maybe try directory assistance. I used to have his cell number I'll see if I can find it.
