I have a 2000 Glastron 18.5 GX
I have a 2000 Glastron 18.5 GX with a 4.3 volvo penta engine that runs great other than an ocasional back fire that passes quickly. The engine runs very quietly at the dock but as soon as is gets going the engine is really loud and almost sounds as if it does not have an adequate muffler system of sorts. I have asked the service folks and they say there is no way to add a muffler type thing for the out drive noise. I have seen the inside of a chapperal boat and they have sound proofing foam inside the engine compartment. Any thoughts in general about the engine noise??
