[QUOTE=Mark75H;2948647]It was an experimental tuned exhaust.
No if I remember right - the exhaust had to be below the waterline for noise reduction at some races across the pond - so that "pipe" fed the exhaust back into the driveshaft housing and then exited below the so called "cavitation plate".

20' Jones
Don't have Hill's, but if you just need a 20' Jones for concept this shot of Joe Habay may work ..... Originally Posted by jackiewilson

I don't recall there being anything unusual about Hill's Jones. It was a 20'er and like all 20'ers, it wanted to bite you if you dared push it past 105 mph. I recall that Hill agreed with that assessment. The Jones that Cooper won a couple of races with was an 18'er and didn't have that desire to go flying.

when did they start putting the engines behind the hulls rather then in the tunnel?
Was it faster?
