Captains Call Exhaust Option

[Big Block Power]

No hates on here. My donzi was full time out the back exhaust. Honestly when your in the boat it's not that bad. It's much better out the back than the side.

[NautiGirl]

It takes all kinds of kinds. All goooooood here!

Anyone order their boat with captains call, or heard a cobalt with it? Did a quick search, and didn't see anything. I know it's not for everyone..Just wondering if any out there? Curious how it sounds, and where does the exhaust emit? Traditionally you see it out side on Crownline...Where does Cobalt set theirs up?

You can see the small black exhaust "caps" between just above the swim platform. Absolutely love when the twin big blocks are singing

Dat A$$! I bet that sounds sweet man! I love the sound of mine with 1 Volvo big block. I can only imagine 2 VPBB's singing

I think I’m definitely in the minority here, but I have to say that I have no desire for CC on my boat. Maybe I’m getting old, but unless it’s a classic muscle car, I don’t like a loud exhaust. When I’m out on the lake, I couldn’t imagine cruising and hearing that loud engine all the time (I know it can be shut off). I’m not a go fast boat guy either. Don’t hate, just my opinion! Am I the only one???

You are not alone. My opinion it that is has it's place on certain boats just as loud exhaust is nice on classic and hot rodded cars where you can hear the cam lope. My boat will top out 47-48 and if it would net me some true speed gain (more than 1-2mph) I would consider it. IMO, putting it on my boat would be like modding the exhaust on my 3.5 ecoboost or my wife's escalade.

On another note, I have a captain's call button on my dash. Any ideas/suggestions on what I could use it for since I don't have the CC option?

Mluters,
Does the catalyst in the manifold affect the sound much? Are you one of the lucky ones that got a non catalyst after 2010? I was led to believe that the VP catalyst screwed up the sound and it really wasn’t worth it. I won’t be doing CC this year, but maybe next.

I can't comment on the sound of Captain's Call with catalyst because I've never heard one configured that way. However, my 2011 8.1 GXi is one of last non catalyst BB's made I believe...I still like the way it sounds but I wouldn't have installed it if I couldn't switch it on/off.

Sooner I have an idea. Make that an ejection seat button for Cowboys fans! That's what I would do with a sooner fan for sure

[BobRae99]

I guess I'm in the minority view. I have a Cobalt because I turned down a 15 year old Regal 2300 (V8/300) at our local marina with 25 hours on it and went looking for a different boat. Why? It had a Captain's Call exhaust that I found obnoxiously loud. In fact, an acquaintance of mine was a 1/2 owner in the boat and said he only went out on it a few times as it was too loud. While you can turn it off, some of the sound still goes through hull.

If it wasn't for my kids and water sports, I think I'd have gone for a 30' sailboat instead of a powerboat. I prefer a laid back, relaxing atmosphere when I am at the lake escaping the hustle and bustle of the city.

Cobalt has the reputation of being the best built boat in its class. That is why I bought one. A quiet ride and engine was a close second reason.

Guess, I won't be getting a ride on the McyD!

E55AMG Don't see the flip swim step with a ladder. Did you add the ladder? Love the twin CC nothin like the rumble to wake up the rocket!!!

[Eric55AMG]

No it came factory like that.
Believe the ladder was an extra option in 2011 with the flip down platform step

[Eric55AMG]

My favorite sound

Going to resurrect this thread just because it has me wanting to buy CC now.
