FX-1 FX-1 Flat Deck Question..

I am going to flat deck my FX-1 and had a question for anyone who has done it:

How far back from the front of the tray can I start cutting without cutting into the long exhaust tube inside the hull? Thanks.

It's pretty high.. If you measure from the back of the ski.... the exhaust tube will rise above the tray @ ≈ 15 inches in. So only the rear 15 inches could be decked without exhaust tube mod.

i didnt actually flat deck one but you must move the exhast tube down or eliminate it. i made my tray as wide as it could be without moving the tube so i do know where it lies..
 
it sure is Idok. looooong time no see man.


thanks for the responses. butti, when you changed the location of the tub, did you also change where it comes through the bulkead of the hull or did you leave a small amount of the gunwall in tact to make a riser with a couple 90 degree elbows to kee the stock local? Idok , if you could track down that pic and post it i would be most intersted in checking it out to have a ball park before i get chop happy.
