Default Wet feet ?

Nope.......

Even the Seacraft Sceptre guys report wet feet with a few people in the stern.

My V21 doesn't. Worst I've seen is a little water around the scupper holes but mostly DRY.

Why just the other day, we had a dance party with 50 people on the boat, and no issues.
Hmmmmmm maybe slight exaggeration.

I redid my deck drains last year and added gemlux scuppers with the rubber flaps. Deck stayed dry as a bone without having to plug the drains. Last fall I removed the flappers for winter storage. This spring...could not find them...launched the boat without flappers....wet feet if I don't plug the drains.

Greene enjoy it while you can. Eventually the governments of the world will ban your engine and you'll be forced to hang a fourstroke off the back.

If they did that I'd paint mine silver and put Yamaha stickers on it. I'll tell them the smoke is just worn rings, but at least it's a 4 stroke.

I'm thinking this a thread about how dry the V deck is but now back to motors....

Well, seems the emissions wth the new Evinrude G2 may be the lowest of any motor on the market......the hydrocarbons are burned which is why the motor is so efficient and powerful.

Maybe some day we'll all be running electric outboards......

Ya, once we work out the problems with the flux capacitor we'll all have Mr. Fusion generators delivering the required 1.21 gigawatts to our electric outboards.
