I have seen a boat that, of course, has thru hull exhaust but also has the type of prop that would indicate it also has thru hub. Would this boat likely have silent choice or some other switch exhaust?????

Could have- but most likely not.The thru hub type prop is flush w/the gearcase and moves the base of the blades out to get "cleaner" water.Less likely to cavitate.

This man knows nothing about the boat and I havent seen it in person. Does silent choice or captains call have distinctive exhaust tips. Any switches on dash????? I do have pics but nothing else. This is an 88 18 350mag/alpha1
