Sounds like the type that was on the last boat I had and had to replace.
Big honking hoses.
The engines were the MercCruiser (GM) 454ci and the hoses that ran from
the
risers to the
mufflers were either 4" or 6" diameter. (can't remember). The boat yard
where I bought the
boat located and installed them. I never liked that boat. Sold it.
Now
boatless. Miss the Navigator.

Considering your previous taste in boats, I never could figure out why you
bought that last boat. I would have kept the little GB if it were in good
shape, since it seemed well-found and also satisfied your need for
creature comforts when "bach'ing" it.

There were a few American Tugs or whatever that other brand is for sale at
a local boatyard. Looked lightly used. You ever look 'em over?


If I could convince the Crown Corp I worked for to double my modest pension,
that's the type of boat I'd take command of.
Up here, we need something seaworthy& comfortable for coastal cruising...
especially with a somewhat short, usually damp, boating season.



I liked the looks of that Navigator...looked "shippy" to me.


As in Disney floating hotel?
