Have one on my 16 w/ 5.7.... picked up 150 rpm's over the standard steel flame arrester. Also have a vent hose affixed under the hatch latch bracket blowing cool air across the intake, carb and directly at the aircleaner... don't do much in big seas so i'm not worried about water coming in...

Tru-Jack, I recently put a K&N flame arrestor, on theboat that wants to be the traded on an 18, it is equipped with a 4.3lx, and by using the tried and true seat of the pants gauge I would say it was well worth the money. The boat seems stronger out of the hole, especially when pulling a slalom skier, and feels faster at WOT.
Good luck
