Also the exhaust piping uptakes coming out of MARLIN are in a horizontal pattern side by side. The two exhaust uptakes coming out of the stack of PENN NO. 6 are in a vertical configuration front to back.

The smoke and fumes stay aloft, and out of harms way. Also keeps the boat cleaner from black soot which can ruin a nice paint job.
