Steve,
All great points and I agree, sometimes the term "silent choice" is used universally, and this is why I wanted to clarify that what I'm referencing is the Y pipe style, and not switchable. Very many factors are in play to cause reversion usually. Merc pulls timing to almost nada at idle on the 525efi and a couple other EFI setups. That's how they get away with a fairly aggressive cam and those headers. Learned this interesting fact from a long time engine builder. Some smart folks over at Mercury Racing for sure. I appreciate your input, as your posts are always to the point and resourceful. Cheers

So back to the Rage....
Dlank was nice enough to stop by and take me for a spin this past weekend. I definitely enjoyed the boat. I wouldn't say its vastly better than my Crownline in terms of softening the chop. The lack of a walk thru windshield and lack of the "jewelry" the crownline has definitely leaves the Rage feeling much more solid over the chop

You really just need to let it go and let this thread get back on track. Silent choice with a Y pipe doesn't belong on a Performace boat period. If you believe it's so great nobody will convince you otherwise. Personally I could care less.
