Default Exaust on getting on my boat?

Hey just thought of something. Are there any of you who pull a boat behind your 150 with duals out the back? Im thinking that if i went with straight duals out the back, the bits of exaust and moisture could get thrown up on the front hull of my boat. What about angled duals at 45 degrees, would is still have a problem? Do i need to go out the back at 90 angles to prevent exaust blowing on the boat or should 45 degrees be ok?

Unless your truck is running rich enough to be averaging 6-8mpg and your spewing unburnt fuel out the tails, I don't think you will have to worry about it either way. The wind movement under and over the truck will discipate the exhaust anyway by the time it gets to the boat. Diesel's though are another story.

Exhaust exit is just personal preference. I prefer the 45* angle duals exiting out the right side, very similar to the 03-04 Harley Davidsons.

Nah. And even if you do get some speckling, look at it this way- at least now you know that something is wrong with your truck.

I pull my 21 rinker all summer with duals straight out the back and never saw any spots from the exhaust. Dont think you'll have a problem
