There is a reason the Cooper is hoarded by outboarders. The weight is an issue but still a great pipe. "What IF" we challenge **** to explore making this design in Carbon Fiber? Or has it been done elsewhere?

Keep in mind that the pipe may work as well as it does because of both how it's made and WHAT it's made of. For example- why do steel pipes work far better on gas motors than aluminum...........

I spoke with **** recently at the lake. Here is what he had to say. To fabricate these pipes it has to be economically feasible for him to go through the trouble and cost of doing so. He stated there would have to be more demand and commitment to purchase more before any manufacturing would take place.

So, with that being said, what market for these pipes are we not tapping into yet?

So Jeff

What you are saying is that no pipes will be made.So the hole thing is just hot air from the start.You can have them 3D printed in Alum.There a company here in Dayton,Oh would be a good place to check out.

Yes Dave, I was very disappointed to hear when I asked him. I don't really know how many he expected to sell as there are only so many of us that race boats.
