As a performance boater/waterfront home owner on the lake, I can tell you that when ever I hear a boat that is especially loud,I take a look and it is usually a visiting boat that is just here for the weekend. Most of my friends as well as myself have had our boats seroiusly muffled so that not only are we in compliance,we can boat without the worry of a being pulled over and hassled.
I always tell incoming visiting boat owners to invest in some quiet mufflers or dont bother.
What I find most interesting is that with all the complaints we hear about boats,they are not even 10% of the noise problem that open exhaust motorcycles are. Can anyone tell me why the focus is on water when the land noise situation is much worse?
