Right ^^^^^

However, what is up with the 8 hose clamps on the starboard exhaust hose? What's going on there?

Someone ran out of hose and spliced something together. Please fix that

I don’t think Cobalt offered straight through hull exhaust as an option, is the Y-pipe still there with a cap on it?

More like the captains call failed and capping the y pipe and going straight through hull was the cheaper option.

I’ll be getting into the boat in the off season. That is on the to do list for sure. The list is long, but it will be like a new boat next season.

This wouldn’t surprise me. The previous owner actually had it maintained well, we have records. Some of the extra things he had them do made me scratch my head. I.e. the surge brakes were acting up so he welded the tongue and removed one of the drums .
