Thanks for the clarification on my question, Aero.
On windshields: Ever drive in a ~2000 Camaro/Firebird? Very raked windshield with about a mile of dash board under it, accompanied by the same mile of reflection...
On inflatables: Could the exhaust be used to inflate the boat tail? By using electric cut-outs you select whether the gas goes in or out of the bag. The bag would have to be pretty "leaky" to make sure the the engine isn't choked down; but then again, with you could use the cutout and not fully divert flow. Allowing exhaust to inflate the bag and allowing the excess pressure to bleed off through the regular tailpipe.
