I agree with Orion, The antique and classic boats were from another era where choices and necesity were different. But I and the majority of old boat lovers 'updated' our classics with mufflers and or bafflers. I never had anyone say anything bad about my low decibel rumble.
Just like people flock to the car shows to hear the the sweet sound of a V8. What is music in one's ear may be annoying to another. Bach's may be sweet to one's ear but Aerosmith is sweet to another. America is about choice, freedom of choice, whether it is religion, or culture.
As for the new boats, I agree some of them were quite annoying. They are must louder than my classic and I agree it is not necesary and discourteous. But what can you do? We live in a free country and our constitution allows us freedom of choice as well as speach.

I rest my case.
