Yep - check out in board motored power boats.

Seen a number of guys use these on hot rod Mustangs and other cars over the years. Should be one piece polished aluminum

These were made to the exact shape and contours of the GT exhaust ring, doesn't mount flat.
Only motorboat these fit must have a '65-'66 GT Mustang rear valance. :o
Guess you've never seen another set either.

Nope - have seen others as reported - never said that had a flat base. Marine application would not automatically mean that a flat mount was necessary. Wood boat such as ChrisCrafts come to mind

Was told/suggested they were from a boat application - could be from another source but have seen then used on 65-66 Mustangs

If they were the "exact" shape then they would be allot flatter without the extension as shown. Guess its been a while since you've seen an original GT exhaust ring :)

Contours and shape was manufactured to fit the valance exactly as an original GT exhaust trim ring would, at the valance.
 Obviously they do not resemble original stainless trim rings.
